Participatory forest monitoring (involving local stakeholders) has also been proposed as means of reducing costs and promoting equity (Danielsen et al., The projected impacts of climate change on biodiversity include the shift of species toward northern regions and higher elevation from their current locations, the extinction of already vulnerable species such as species on islands or tops of mountains, and adverse effects on climate sensitive ecosystems such as coral reefs and mangroves. These climate-induced changes in biodiversity at species, ecosystem or landscape levels are expected to further affect global and regional climate through alterations in the uptake and release of greenhouse gases and evapotranspiration in lands and oceans (CBD, 2009).
