本书概述了世界物种和遗传资源的位置，为什么它们是有价值的，并对热带森林中的物种保护进行了新的分析;介绍了保护生物学的最新发现;并建议如何应用这些发现。本报告最后强调生物多样性与人类文化多样性之间的相互依存关系以及这一重要联系所涉政策问题。物种灭绝的最大原因是热带森林砍伐，地球上估计有1000万个物种，其中50%正在以每十年5-10%的速度被摧毁。淡水河流生境和热带岛屿也因生境改变和物种引进而迅速丧失物种。只有通过保护栖息地才能有效地管理物种。不可避免的人口增长将增加对生境的需求以及对生物多样性的需求。不解决这个问题的代价将高于启动管理。解决办法在很大程度上是政治性的;基金研究将生物多样性养护纳入发展优先事项，鼓励综合区域和跨部门协调，确定国家优先事项，促进生物文化养护。
This book offers an overview of where the worlds species and genetic resources are located why they are valuable and a new analysis of species extinctions in tropical forests; presents a survey of the most recent findings of conservation biology; and suggests how these findings can be applied. The report ends by emphasizing the interdependence between biological diversity and human cultural diversity and the policy implications of this critical bond. The single greatest cause of species extinction is tropical deforestation where 50% of the estimated 10 million species on earth are being destroyed at the rate of 5-10% per decade. Freshwater river habitats and tropical islands are also losing species rapidly through habitat conversion and species introduction. Species can only be managed effectively by preserving habitats. The inevitable human population growth will increase demands on habitats as well as the need for biological diversity. The cost of not addressing this problem will be higher than setting management in motion. The solution is largely political; fund research put biodiversity conservation into development priorities encourage integrated regional and cross-sectoral coordination establish national priorities and promote biocultural conservation.
