520    This volume is a collaboration between scientists and 
       managers, providing a science-derived framework and common
       -sense approaches for keeping parks and protected areas 
       healthy on a rapidly changing planet. Scientists have been
       warning for years that human activity is heating up the 
       planet and climate change is under way. In the past 
       century, global temperatures have risen an average of 1.3 
       degrees Fahrenheit, a trend that is expected to only 
       accelerate. But public sentiment has taken a long time to 
       catch up, and we are only just beginning to acknowledge 
       the serious effects this will have on all life on Earth. 
       The federal government is crafting broad-scale strategies 
       to protect wildland ecosystems from the worst effects of 
       climate change. The challenge now is to get the latest 
       science into the hands of resource managers entrusted with
       protecting water, plants, fish and wildlife, tribal lands,
       and cultural heritage sites in wildlands. Teaming with 
       NASA and the Department of the Interior, ecologist Andrew 
       James Hansen, along with his team of scientists and 
       managers, set out to understand how climate and land use 
       changes affect montane landscapes of the Rockies and the 
       Appalachians, and how these findings can be applied to 
       wildlands elsewhere. They examine changes over the past 
       century as well as expected future change, assess the 
       vulnerability of species and ecosystems to these changes, 
       and provide new, collaborative management approaches to 
       mitigate expected impacts. A series of case studies 
       showcases how managers might tackle such wide-ranging 
       problems as the effects of warming streams on cold-water 
       fish in Great Smoky Mountain National Park and dying white
       -bark pine stands in the Greater Yellowstone area. A 
       surprising finding is that species and ecosystems vary 
       dramatically in vulnerability to climate change. While 
       many will suffer severe effects, others may actually 
       benefit from projected changes.
