Abstract:
The effects of climate change poses a challenge to the management systems in the protected
areas, affects wildlife resources and the levels of community benefits. The rates of these changes
in most protected areas alter their composition resulting to different habitats and species
assemblages. Protected area managers and the communities in Meru Conservation Area have to
come to the terms that climate change is an emerging threat and a phenomenon that requires
inclusion in the daily planning and decision making for the protected areas. The most effective
approach however is to develop adaptation strategies that will cope with the climate change for
prosperity of protected areas |
