- - The evaluation of conservation strategies is often lacking, limiting transparency and efficiency in resource allocation, especially noted in orangutan conservation efforts where about USD 1 billion was invested from 2000 to 2019.
- - The study found that habitat protection, patrolling, and public outreach yielded the best returns on investment for orangutan population maintenance, but effectiveness varied by region due to different threats and costs.
- - By using a new framework to analyze conservation investments, the research highlights the importance of understanding the complex relationships between funding and conservation outcomes, offering valuable insights applicable to global biodiversity efforts.
