保护行动不可避免地涉及到选择，在不同物种的种群和不同生态系统的状态之间，在经济力量的保护和改造之间，在人类和其他物种的需求之间，在一些人的利益高于另一些人的利益之间。然而，这些选择很少得到实践保护主义者的明确认可或辩论（Mace et al., 2007）。为了鼓励他们的专业实践进一步改进，自然资源保护主义者需要更明确地说明他们的保护政策中做出了哪些隐藏的选择。此外，环保主义者需要仔细权衡他们每天在决定拯救什么时所做的权衡。制定保护目标和政策越来越被视为一项科学活动，其结果应该遵循理性的，实际上是基于证据的选择（Sutherland et al, 2004）。然而，不同种类的证据可能会提出不同的策略，而保护规划者很少这样做
Conservation action inevitably involves choices, between the populations of different species and the states of various ecosystems, between preservation and transformation by economic forces, between the needs of people and those of other species, between the interests of some people over others. However, these choices are rarely explicitly recognized or debated by practising conservationists (Mace et al., 2007). To encourage further improvements in their professional practices, conservationists need to be more explicit about what hidden choices are made in their conservation policies. Furthermore, conservationists need to carefully weigh up the trade-offs that they make every day in deciding what to save. Setting goals and policies for conservation is increasingly seen as a scientific activity, where outcomes should follow rational, indeed evidence-based, choices (Sutherland et al., 2004). However, different kinds and pieces of evidence may suggest different strategies, and conservation planners rarely
