Most of the existing frameworks to manage protected areas reflect the understanding of the different hazards and drivers of change affecting their territories. This experience builds on that capacity, based on an understanding of climate risk and resilience of the conservation targets. This understanding facilitates decision-making on the most appropriate adaptation measures. It also takes into account that several activities carried out in the protected area (i.e. the monitoring and relocation of marine turtles nesting sites, the long term initiative on coral reefs restoration, etc.) are already climate change adaptation measures. In addition, local solutions are often preferable cost-effective alternatives, compared to those proposed from non-tropical environments. Keeping it simple and natural should be the first thing to take into account to design climate change adaptation activities.
