回顾了过去十年用于评估野生动物保护价值的标准。审查了九项研究，从特定地点的研究到生态评估方法的研究。一半以上的研究使用了五个标准——多样性、稀有性、自然性、区域和人类干扰的威胁。考虑了每一个的基本原理，并讨论了定义、测量和应用的问题。对其他不太常用的标准进行了简要回顾。公认的三组标准。第一个可以在现场访问期间估计。第二个依赖于地理区域内的广泛调查数据，从而证明了业余博物学家及其保护组织的重要作用。第三组依赖于案例历史收集的估计：国内和国际上都迫切需要存储和检索此类数据的系统。
The criteria which have been used for the assessment of wildlife conservation values during the last decade are reviewed. Nine studies, ranging from studies of particular sites to those of ecological evaluation methods, are examined. Five criteria — diversity, rarity, naturalness, area and threat of human interference—were used in more than half of these studies. The rationale for each of these is considered, and problems of definition, measurement and application are discussed. Other criteria, which are used less frequently, are reviewed briefly.Three groups of criteria are recognised. The first can be estimated during a site visit. The second relies on extensive survey data within the geographical area, thus demonstrating the important role of amateur naturalists and their conservation organisations. The third group relies for its estimation upon a collection of case histories: there is an urgent need, both nationally and internationally, for systems to store and retrieve such data.
