Both the cost and the conservation benefit should be weighed across all possible conservation actions
and the most effective option chosen

Establishing a GR in a PA is a good way to minimize the costs of a GR operation, but it does increase the PA management costs.

Three different valid methods to choose the conservation actions are:
  • select the least expensive method that meets your threshold
  • select the combination of interventions that cost less than this amount and results in the most positive outcome
  • simultaneously consider the cost, the benefit and the feasibility of the action
