12. In conservation efforts which types of organisms deserve priority and why?

The answer to this question depends on the specific conservation efforts being undertaken. Generally, species that are endangered, threatened, or have a low population size should be given priority. Additionally, species that are keystone species, have a large range of habitats, or are important to the local ecosystem should be given priority. These species are important for maintaining the balance of the ecosystem and can help protect other species in the area.
