The evidence that species can persist in microclimatic refugia where suitable conditions for them are maintained locally  has increased in recent years. This has opened up the potential to include refugia in conservation plans and strategies to facilitate the local survival of species , for example, targeting management actions  aimed at supporting populations of species. This is likely to become an important aspect of climate change adaptation for biodiversity conservation in future. It is also possible to manipulate microclimate, for example, by creating shelters for birds' nests; see Case Study in 2.6.5.5 of African penguins; . One specific approach of this sort is the planting or retention of trees and wooded corridors to shade watercourses . Riparian shading can also possibly help to reduce phytoplankton and benthic diatom growth in smaller streams and rivers .
