A framework for maximizing the benefit from retaining regrowth on private land
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Conservation interventions often have lower‐than‐desired positive impacts, as revealed by retrospective counterfactual‐based evaluations. To address this, a prospective counterfactual‐based approach can be used to estimate potential benefits and design conservation interventions to maximize outcomes. We developed a framework for estimating the
