More inclusive processes, such as the Haida Gwaii management plan, could help to diversify governance \citep{VierrosEtAl2020MarinePolicy,SpaldingEtAl2023npjOceanSustain}, while also meeting the criteria of international agreements such as the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. The species component aims to halt human-induced extinctions of "known threatened species" (i.e., those listed as threatened in the Red List) and to reduce extinction risk tenfold. While commendable, the Red List as a sole indicator might preclude an effective gauge of progress for preventing species extinctions \citep{HughesEtAl2021BioScience} and highlights the need for more efficient biodiversity monitoring \citep{GonzalezEtAl2023NatEcolEvol}.
Furthermore, we also call attention to maintaining an appropriate balance of priorities between conservation measures, scientific research, and monitoring \citep{Buxton_2021}. Arguably, more resources are needed to adequately monitor the population trends and threats for most species  \citep{GonzalezEtAl2023NatEcolEvol}. For wide-ranging, migratory, and marine species, region-wide, transboundary efforts that involve data collection and biodiversity assessment at the population level are required \citep{RobersonEtAl2021Glob.ChangeBiol.,Dunn_2019}. We suggest that increased collaboration, synergies \citep{OberhauserEtAl2017Ecol.Entomol.}, and bottom-up approaches \citep*{WybornEvans2021NatEcolEvola} are needed to allow the participation of all relevant stakeholders, mobilize resources and funding more effectively, and provide more diverse criteria to assay priorities for species conservation across scales.
