Abstract

This chapter summarizes key findings of all the chapters contained in the book and presents analytical views on how modeling of land use and climate change and the consequent biodiversity change may potentially be used to assess past, current, and future threats to biodiversity and livelihoods of people at local and regional levels. In addition, this chapter identifies some key results, future innovations and research needs, e.g., accurate land use prediction, downscaling world climate data to local condition, and biodiversity/species distribution model. It also includes how to effectively implement the model results for conservation of land and biodiversity such as protected area system plan, optimal land use policy, environmental impact assessment, and strategic environmental assessment.
