Decision graph representing the optimal strategy for Sumatran tigers. When the Sumatran tiger is observed, it is worthwhile to manage the species for 12 years, at which point surveying is recommended. If the tiger is not observed after a further 3 years of investment in surveying, the optimal strategy is then to surrender. These results are conditional on available estimates of detection and yearly local extinction probabilities.
