翻译后摘要：保护科学的最终目的是通知和影响保护政策。因此，保护生物学家和所有从事保护研究、审查和应用的人都应该根据其影响保护决策的能力来评估其知识的成功。除了具有传统的“科学”属性，如有效性，概括性和精确性，保护知识还必须具备的素质，使其有效的政治竞技场的决策。“公共生态学”是一种保护科学的哲学和实践，它超越了生物学和现代科学的规范，构建了对环境决策有用的知识。作为后常态保护科学，公共生态学被定义为以下六个属性：评估性，背景，多标量，综合性，适应性和可访问性。我们讨论了需要一个更公共的生态系统，并描述了使其成为一个更强大的生态系统的素质。
Abstract: The ultimate purpose of conservation science is to inform and affect conservation policy. Therefore, conservation biologists and all the people who produce, review, and apply conservation research should evaluate the success of their knowledge according to its ability to influence conservation decisions. In addition to possessing conventional “scientific” attributes such as validity, generalizability, and precision, conservation knowledge must also possess qualities that make it effective in the political arena of decision making. “Public ecology” is a philosophy and practice of conservation science that goes beyond biology and beyond the norms of modern science to construct knowledge that is useful for environmental decision making. As post‐normal conservation science, public ecology is defined by the following six attributes: evaluative, contextual, multiscalar, integrative, adaptive, and accessible. We discuss the need for a more public ecology and describe the qualites that make it a more powerful ecology.
