Scientists have been warning for years that human activity is heating up the planet and climate change is under way. 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. One of the greatest challenges is to get the latest science into the hands of resource managers entrusted with vulnerable wildland ecosystems. This book examines climate and land-use changes in montane environments, assesses the vulnerability of species and ecosystems to these changes, and provides resource managers with collaborative management approaches to mitigate expected impacts. Climate Change in Wildlands proposes a new kind of collaboration between scientists and managers--a science-derived framework and common-sense approaches for keeping parks and protected areas healthy on a rapidly changing planet.

The testimonies and pearls of wisdom are to help people find their way to Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world. Jesus has given us the gift of eternal life if we accept him as our Lord and Saviour. I conclude this book and challenge everyone who reads it to say a prayer asking Jesus to come into your life. If you are sincere, I guarantee that your life will change. For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son Jesus Christ. That whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life (John 3: 1617). God did not send Jesus into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved. The choice is yours. Let us remember that every choice has a consequence and that you are the product of choices made in the past. Invite Jesus into your life and learn to walk with him. We are all spiritual beings living in a physical body. All that will remain is the spirit that gave life to the body. That life-giving spirit will return to the Creator and be judged by God, the giver of life. The physical body will decay.
