Diversifying to Manage Climate‐
Change Risk in Conservation
Amy W. Ando
Professor, Associate Head of Academic Programs and Director of Graduate Studies, Dept. of Agricultural and Consumer Economics, University of Illinois Urbana‐Champaign
Climate change and other forces make it hard for conservation planners to choose the best places for long term investments because they don’t know what things will look like on the ground in the future. What coastlines will be under water? What places will be biodiversity hotspots or great waterfowl breeding habitats 50 years from now? This research adapts tools from financial portfolio theory so diversified conservation choices can reduce the uncertainty we face in future levels of conservation success.
