Resources should not be wasted on species that require, for example, expensive captive breeding and reintroduction programmes, but instead be allocated for cheaper conservation actions that will prevent several other species from becoming extinct, or from becoming threatened to begin with.

Resources for conservation are limited in respect to conservation

There are success stories where the the future was very dim. 97% of Mauritius’ original habitat had been lost and was ecologically devastated. Many species including the Dodo were exterminated and several highly endangered/ on the brink of extinction. A mix of conservation efforts have brought Mauritius back from the bleak and have saved many species including the endemic Mauritian pink pigeon and numerous plants.
