“…Immediately the objectives are defined, the strengths and weaknesses are outlined. Subsequently, a set of criteria are identified to achieve these objectives in line with [31,32]. Consequently, step 5 of Figure 3 (the fourth stage of Figure 2) calls for deciding and/or evaluating the performance criteria and alternatives for each major objective.…”

“…Furthermore, in using expert judgment, representation is measured by the quality of the experts and not by the numerical size [42]. Several research works have adopted similar approach [1,31,32,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52]. Therefore, this research design is proper for the intent of this study.…”

“…What this implies to the Area-based approach for instance is that, in its target, it is either that the area is preserved because it is endemic or that it is conserved to protect a non-endemic area. The AHP is a special form of MCDM that is used here and has a wide range of applications in different disciplines [31][32][33][34][35][36]. The multi-criteria decision-making structure based on AHP is presented in Figure 2 below and integrated as steps 2-9 in Figure 3.…”

There are generally no acceptable views on the conservation of biodiversity because there are no known best approaches to that. This has presented a challenge on what and how to conserve in developing countries like Nigeria. This paper used a multi-criteria decision-making model based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to elicit experts’ opinions on biodiversity conservation approaches and their corresponding conservation targets. The rationality of the experts was checked by measuring their consistency in the decision-making process. A greedy search algorithm based on linear programming application was also used for resource allocation. This technique is holistic and allows the decision maker to consider all pertinent factors. The approach allows policy makers to integrate worldviews; culture; diverse flexibility of concerned communities and other stakeholders in identifying conservation practices to achieve sustainability. In terms of current performance for the biodiversity conservation approaches; the conservation experts rated their performance on Ecosystem-service-based approach high with the priority index of 0.460. Their performances on Area- and Species-based approaches are ranked second and third with priority indexes of 0.288 and 0.252 respectively. Conversely; in the case of expectations; Ecosystem service is the most important with a priority index of 0.438 followed by Area-based with a priority index of 0.353 and Species–based with a priority index of 0.209. The Ecosystem-service based approach has the highest contribution coefficient. Resources are allocated accordingly; in form of capacity building; based on the priorities that were obtained. The research is a rights-based tool for capacity building; and a paradigm shift from the purely scientific approach to decision-making. It is designed to bridge a scientific gap between policy formulation and resource allocation in biodiversity conservation.

“…The specific objective here is to maximize the use of resources for the BCA in order to minimize depletion of biological diversity. Therefore, following Satty and Alexander (1981), Madu and Madu (1993) and Madu et al (2017), an LP model can be established more compactly as: Max β T w (A4) Subject to:…”

Objective: This paper uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to rank main actions and their associated task areas outlined in the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) in the case of Nigeria. The focus is on three major challenges namely (1) stakeholder inclusiveness, (2) capacity building and communication and (3) local adaptation. Methods: The perceptions of a sample of 26 field disaster management experts on the HFA were studied and analyzed using AHP. The study found that "Disaster Preparedness" is the most important expected goal followed by "Risk Assessment and Early Warning." Results: Their priority indices are 0.258 and 0.219, respectively. "Local/City Governance" however, shows poor performance with a priority index of 0.085. Monte Carlo simulation was further applied to examine the robustness of the AHP assessments. Conclusion: The results are indicative of the perceptions of the performance levels attained and the areas that need improvement.
