寄生虫遍布生命之树和每个生态系统，是地球上最具多样性、生态重要性的动物之一，但几乎在所有情况下，它们都是受野生动物或生态系统保护工作保护最少的动物。几十年来，生态学家一直在呼吁进行研究，以了解寄生虫的重要生态作用，并越来越多地保护尽可能多的物种免于灭绝。然而，大多数自然资源保护主义者仍然在优先资助和努力系统内工作，这些系统排除或忽视寄生虫，或将寄生虫视为需要克服的障碍。我们的工作组确定了未来十年的12个目标，这些目标可以通过雄心勃勃的研究，宣传和管理来促进寄生虫生物多样性保护。
Found throughout the tree of life and in every ecosystem, parasites are some of the most diverse, ecologically important animals on Earth-but in almost all cases, the least protected by wildlife or ecosystem conservation efforts. For decades, ecologists have been calling for research to understand parasites' important ecological role, and increasingly, to protect as many species from extinction as possible. However, most conservationists still work within priority systems for funding and effort that exclude or ignore parasites, or treat parasites as an obstacle to be overcome. Our working group identified 12 goals for the next decade that could advance parasite biodiversity conservation through an ambitious mix of research, advocacy, and management.
