How can the design of protected areas be future proofed for the conservation of large mammal biodiversity?

是什么使保护区对人为和气候变化的压力具有弹性，这是我的论文的重点；确定保护区如何在未来证明大型哺乳动物的保护是可行的。考虑了保护区的大小和连通性对大型哺乳动物种群趋势的影响，以及它们对哺乳动物生物多样性完整性的影响。确定了物种的人为压力梯度，以及它们如何影响保护区内大型哺乳动物的分布。我探讨了气候变化将如何影响目前保护区对大型哺乳动物的适宜性，以及增加它们的连接性是否会使它们更具弹性。本论文还将重点放在IUCN的管理和治理类别上，探讨它们对哺乳动物生物多样性完整性和大型哺乳动物种群趋势的影响。在调查这些区域时，我的目标是确定是什么使保护区在保护大型哺乳动物方面有效，并对未来做出预测。

What makes a protected area resilient to anthropogenic and climate change pressures is the focus of my thesis; determining how protected areas can be future proofed for the conservation of large mammals. The influence of size and connectivity of protected areas on large mammal population trends is considered, together with their impact on mammal biodiversity intactness. Anthropogenic pressure gradients are determined for species, and how they affect large mammal distribution within a protected area. I explore how climate change will influence the suitability of current protected areas for large mammals, and whether increasing their connectedness makes them more resilient. My thesis also focuses on IUCN management and governance categories; exploring their impact on mammal biodiversity intactness and large mammal population trends. In investigating these areas, I aim to determine what makes a protected area effective at conserving large mammals and make projections for the future.
