1 Introduction Climate change is profoundly restructuring ecological dynamics and ecosystems (Pinsky et al. 2018; Scheffers and Pecl 2019; Hanson et al. 2020). If targets such as the Global Biodiversity Framework's target to protect 30% of the Earth's ecosystems by 2030 are to successfully secure biodiversity for the long term, they must account for climate change (CBD 2013).

AbstractEffective private land conservation strategies that consider both landholder preferences and future climatic conditions are critical for preserving biodiversity and ecosystem services. Yet, the interaction and relative importance of these factors for conservation planning performance is unknown. Here, we assess the importance of considering landholder preferences and climate change for prioritising locations for conservation tenders to recruit landholders for conservation covenants.
