Reducing threats to species: threat reversibility and links to industry

摘要: Threats to species’ persistence are typically mitigated via lengthy and costly recovery planning processes that implemented only after species at risk of extinction. To reduce overall threats minimize risks not yet imperiled, a proactive broad-scale framework is needed. Using data on imperiled in Canada illustrate our approach, we link industries causing the harm, thus providing regulators with quantitative can be used directly cost-benefit analyses broadly threat levels. We then show how ranking ease abatement reversal assists prioritization by identifying easiest mitigate as well possible abate but nearly impossible reverse. This new increases usefulness widely available for preventative conservation recovery.
