CAKE, with its detailed case studies, vetted virtual library, and directory of people working on adaptation is an essential tool to develop the knowledge and strategies that will enable people and nature to adapt to climate change.
In confusing times we need all the help we can get - CAKE provides a really helpful doorway into a world where people are looking for and trying out answers to our current dilemmas about what to do about adapting to climate change
Like it or not, global warming is here and it will continue. Our well-being and the health of Earth's ecosystems depend on our ability to adapt to change. CAKE provides an essential source for solutions amid a welter of information.
In The Little Prince, the fox tells the prince that he must never forget that “you remain responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.” In a similar way, we are now responsible, forever, for the countless species threatened by our commandeering of Earth’s climate. CAKE is an indispensible tool for exercising that responsibility.
Finally we have a resource to help us adapt to climate change. There is no sense in denial. We cannot rely upon mitigation. We need to help species and communities adapt now before it is too late.
Pardon the pun, but it’s a piece of cake to use CAKE. I typed in several key words on a recent research topic and immediately had case studies, colleague contacts, and bibliographic information. CAKE lets its users efficiently share timely information.
CAKE is the home of the critical thinking and indepth knowledge needed to guide wildland conservation strategies for the next 100 years.
