What strategies are most effective for species conservation?

Question

Lauren Ayres · Answer

All right, what strategies are most effective for wildlife conservations? I have worked with an organization called Global Conservation Force for many years. And one reason why I really support and care about the mission of this organization is because they have a multi-modal approach. So they look at four different areas of wildlife conservation and support different organizations within each of those. So the first one is anti-poaching. So in order to conserve species, we have to protect those that are there in the wild. Supporting rangers that protect the areas, developing different technology to track and monitor any endangered species so we know where they're at. Next is the kind of like veterinary in-situ conservation efforts where you are doing rescue and release and rehabilitation of endangered and threatened wildlife. Next would be kind of like the community education and awareness building. So this can be everything from working in local communities to let them know how important the animals are that they have there and how they can prevent them from going extinct, all the way to doing wildlife documentaries and letting people all across the world know about the plight of different animals. And then finally, the last kind of component that I think comes into being able to have a successful wildlife conservation program is by implementing counter-trafficking measures. So that would be going to legislation in the government and trying to look for harsher punishments and follow through on poaching and greater protections of different species. So by taking all of those into account, anti-poaching, veterinary care, education, and legislation, you can have a really great multimodal approach to wildlife conservation.
