Wildlife conservation is crucial for maintaining global ecological balance. When endangered wildlife face extinction, it disrupts the food chain and affects biodiversity. The paper examines the feasibility of selecting sites for wildlife conservation, supported by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), aiming to reduce illegal hunting within five years. The research highlights the current substantial but scattered investments in wildlife conservation, emphasizing the need for systematic site selection. Utilizing the ARIMA to predict trends in the illegal elephant trade, the paper finds an 80% reduction in illegal activities post-project implementation. Additionally, the Spearman correlation analysis confirms a significant relationship between the establishment of conservation sites and the reduction of illegal wildlife trade. The research also develops a possibility prediction model, indicating a 93.1% likelihood of achieving the conservation goals within five years, demonstrating the project's potential to enhance global biodiversity conservation effectively.
