In addition, given the often limited budget available for biodiversity, information that can help to target and prioritise biodiversity interventions to areas where they will have most impact is also important. Ideally, investments should be prioritised towards areas with highest biodiversity and ecosystem benefits and with highest risk of loss/degradation. Cost-effectiveness is also enhanced by prioritising areas with lower opportunity costs (Wunscher, Engel and Wunder, 2006, OECD, 2010).
