If you were in a role of a decision maker, how might you balance your desire to protect biodiversity around the world with the high cost of preserving biodiversity in any given location?

I would try to balance by trying to make major awareness campaigns to encourage people to adopt biodiversity preservation techniques. In these campaigns, I would warn that the costs of preserving biodiversity are high, but the costs to offset the decline in biodiversity will be much higher.

Explanation:

Saving biodiversity will be expensive: $ 300 billion a year over the next eight years, according to Brazilian Bráulio Dias, secretary of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. Failure to preserve biodiversity would cost much more and could have serious consequences, such as disease, hunger, poverty and poor adaptability to climate change.

This fact has to be disseminated so that people around the world can realize the imminent need to adopt nature preservation methods. For this reason, in order to balance my desire to protect biodiversity worldwide with the high cost of preserving biodiversity anywhere, I would start large campaigns warning people of the imminent danger of not engaging in behaviors that encourage biodiversity preservation.

i would imagine your answer to be b.

i'm not could be wrong.
