This publication, sponsored by the Canadian Council
on Ecological Areas (CCEA) in collaboration with the University
of Waterloo, reports on the results of the first national synthesis
on the state of climate change adaptation in Canada’s expansive
protected areas sector. The report covers five aspects: 1) provides
an overview of global and Canadian climate change issues and impacts
and their implications for protected areas in Canada; 2) summarizes
the results of a national survey to report issues, needs and constraints
facing protected areas agencies and organizations across Canada;
3) reports case work on selected jurisdictional activities and initiatives
in Canada, currently underway or planned, that are directly relevant
to protected areas; 4) offers provisional thinking on issues, mitigation
and adaptation strategies regarding critical aspects of policy,
planning and management for protected areas; and, 5) provokes a
call to action for protected areas agencies in Canada to develop
a coordinated approach to climate change adaptation.

This guidebook has been prepared by experts from
protected area agencies across Canada to provide further explanation
to the World Conservation Union (IUCN) Guidelines of 1994, an international
system to categorize and report on protected areas at the global
level. This guidebook reflects current Canadian thinking on the
IUCN classification system and provides a common tool for all Canadian
jurisdictions to improve consistency in classifying protected areas
and encourages cooperation in protected areas assessment and reporting.

Building on the conclusions of NPA1, this report
is a case study of the Western Canadian Mammalian Province, which
is largely coincident with Canada’s boreal ecozones east of
the cordillera. The focus of this casestudy is the testing of an
optimization model for representing disturbance sensitive mammalian
species in protected areas large enough to maintain species diversity.
This paper contains potential applications by protected area agencies
and ENGOs conducting gap analyses throughout this region.
