If these goals are still the conservation of biodiversity and natural systems, addition, although the available evidence indicates that using multiple strategies will yield the greatest payoffs for nature conservation, we urge natural and social scientists to carefully scrutinize the relative effectiveness of different approaches for achieving long-term results. Let us all now all return to the important work of conserving the natural places and natural resources on which all species, including humans, depend.
