Our Living Resimives — Global Climcite Change 



S95 



restoration and transplantation of species 

 among preserves or into new locations. Actions 

 such as removal of exotic species or hydrologi- 

 cal controls may not be qualitatively different 

 than those that are currently required of land 

 managers, but climate change may increase the 

 intensity and frequency of threats from exotic 

 species, drought, and tire. In view of the unpre- 

 dictable and potentially devastating effects of 

 global climate change on species" viability and 

 distribution, conservation strategies such as 

 propagation of critical species outside of their 

 natural range to provide materials for reintro- 

 ductions are likely to become increasingly 

 important to preserve biological diversity.
