1990年代可能是作出建设性和创造性决定、活动和投资的最后十年，以确保世界上许多物种和生态系统得到维护，对其物质和生态价值进行审查，并促进可持续利用，以支持新的和创新的发展办法。保持最大可能的生物和文化多样性与最大可能的科学奋进相结合，似乎是应对人类面临的动态未来的最明智的方法。现在存在的因素将扭转世界生物灭绝的趋势。需要找到新的保护伙伴，包括直接依赖生物资源的所有部委、部门和私营机构。例如，国家公园部门应该与代表所有利益的广泛的其他机构一起参与栖息地管理。此外，其他职能机构需要发展管理与其各自任务特别相关的生物多样性的能力。未来几年采取的行动将决定我们是走上一条以过度开发和滥用生物资源为特征的混乱未来之路，还是走上一条保持更大生物多样性和资源可持续性的道路。
The 1990s may be the last decade during which constructive and creative decisions, activities, and investments can be made to ensure that many of the world's species and ecosystems are maintained, examined for their material and ecological value, and promoted for sustainable use to support new and innovative approaches to development. The combination of maintaining the maximum possible biological and cultural diversity, and the greatest possible scientific endeavor seems the most sensible approach toward dealing with the dynamic future facing humanity. The elements now exist that will reverse the trend toward the biotic impoverishment of the world. New partners in conservation need to be found, involving all ministries, departments, and private institutions that are directly dependent on biological resources. For example, national parks departments should be joined in habitat management by a wide range of other institutions to represent all interests. Furthermore, other line agencies need to develop the capacity to manage biodiversity of particular relevance to their respective missions. Actions taken in the next few years will determine whether we take a road toward a chaotic future characterized by overexploitation and abuse of our biological resources, or take the road toward maintaining greater biological diversity and resource sustainability.
