地球多样性是一个概念，旨在解决相对低估的重要性，非生物多样性在保护和可持续发展科学。在这篇简短的文章中，我们认为，地球多样性的古老性使其具有独特的价值，全球地球多样性与生物多样性一起被纳入保护研究和实践是必要的。将地球多样性概念化为与生物多样性平行的框架，有助于认识到非生物特征和过程是地球表面普遍发生人为变化的时代值得保护的目标，并有助于将保护方法导向自然的所有方面。
Geodiversity is a concept that seeks to address the relatively under-valued importance of abiotic diversity in conservation and sustainability science. In this short communication we argue that the antiquity of geodiversity makes it uniquely valuable and it is imperative that global geodiversity is factored in alongside biodiversity for conservation research and praxis. The conceptualization of geodiversity as a parallel framework to biodiversity can help to recognize abiotic features and processes as worthy conservation targets in the era of pervasive anthropogenic change of the planet's surface and help to orient conservation approaches towards all aspects of nature.
