How do the successes and failures of conservation efforts, such as those involving invasive species, inform strategies for broader biodiversity protection?

Successful conservation hinges on targeted interventions like reintroduction programs (as seen with the Iberian lynx), eradication of invasive species (demonstrated with the Campbell teal), and habitat management, often complemented by community involvement. The study highlights that while many species in isolated areas respond well to intensive conservation, broader systemic changes are needed to address the global biodiversity crisis.
