CONS module 5&6 Flashcards
Reserve system
links more than one reserve to achieve an objectve
regional, prov, natioanl scales
evalutaion of reserve and reserve system
needs measuring of specific targest
SLOSS
sinlge large or severla small debate
depends on everything
large better overall as more environments and less vulnerable to disturabnce
small argument
recommend in certain sites or for place already fragmented
max number of speices protected (higher biod)
heterogeneous hab
target species with small range dispersal
protects better against diseas
SLOSS in BC
larger Northern parks only one in south over 100000 ha
reserve design shape
apply hab fragmentation (shape impacts core vs edge)
determines susceptibility to nat disturbance events and connectivity to ahbs
reserve design- location
distance btw pops barrier to genetic mixing
create metapop structure when too far away
placement improves pop dynamics of target species (lower inbreed)
translocation could be done reserve isolation
QUESTIONS IN prereading ONE
DO IT
what do you need to take into account for reserve design
shape, location, size, quality, ecosystem function and services
large sloss debate
long rang species
more environment types protected
less vulnerable to large scale disturbances
corridors? bens and draws
helps gene flow, genetic div, isolation help, increase connectivity
prey may more exposed here, hunted more (choke point), connection maybe with no core, increase edge amount
what can translocation do
helpw ith isolation
but harm source and or sink habitat potentially
change inteactions, fam structure, change functions,
think ethically
quality of reserve habtat
historically selected LESS productive areas for reserves (more productive for us)
agriculutre takes em
ecosystem function sin reserves
larger better as fluctuates
‘insurance’ against massive loss of area or species
ecosystem services in reserves
debate on using reserves for serices
land-sharing or land-sparing
land sharing
integration of ecosystem services in parks
allow humans and interactions and such
land sparing
more like fortress cons, seperation of human and parks
types of protected areas in BC
class A B C pars Rec areas ecological reserves conservancies PA's
larges area per park
class A park
largest area other than parks
conservancies
what falls into proteceted areas of BC and Park Act
Class A and B, conservancies
environment and landuse act has which areas
PA’s
not in protected areas of BC LOL
ecological reserve and protected areas acts
ecological reserves
Minitsry of environment and CC looks after waht areas
Class C parls and rec sites
Class A parks
COnservation is prmary goal
development only reacreation values
dedicated to natural environ for inspiration (romantic)
Class B Parks
Smaller class, way less exist
broader range of activites permitted (mining)
but indust cannot impact recreation
Class C Parks
not huge group
locally managed, smaller, provide local recreation
main goal: recreation
Recreation areas
crown land set aside for piblic recreation
establish mineral resource eval
permits some indust activity
managed by BC hydro many
may become parks or integrated mangement lands in futre
(option value)
Concervancies
second largest type here crown land set for: protection and maintainence of bio div presev and main social, cerem and culutral FN protec and main of rec Devel nat resourses provides wider range low econ activies explicitly recognize FN areas
Ecological Reserves
crown land set for: PSP scientific research and edu purposes representative examples of natrual BC areas with rare or endagngered public access but not for rec
WMA’s
wildlife management areas (31) not standard under wildlife act full range of land use planning considers fish and wildlife recognize humans livign here
why make WMA instaed of park
less push back
protect locals
land-sharing
IUCN reserve types
4: 1strict nature areas 1bwilderness areas 2national park 3natural monument 4 habitat speices management area
2013 IUCN added two areas
5 protected landscape/seascape
6 managed resource protected area
what do cats 1-4 represent IUCN
true protected areas
what do IUCN cats 5 and 6 represent
sustainable development
include FN culture and tradition,
help protect local lives and ways of life
where 5 and 6 mostly in cda
Sask and NUnavet
drawbacks from fortress
taking people from home, displacemen,t demonized for returning to home land
