保护科学与分类学之间的关系通常被看作是前者对后者的简单依赖。这种依赖被认为是严格单向的，以避免保护科学的规范性问题不适当地影响分类学的描述学科。在本文中，我通过强调保护科学家在分类学内部阶段的科学决策中的两个重要角色，来反对这种被广泛认为是这两个学科之间关系的标准观点。我表明，这些角色意味着这两个学科应该是相互依存的，价值判断应该在两者中发挥重要作用。
The relation between conservation science and taxonomy is typically seen as a simple dependency of the former on the latter. This dependency is assumed to be strictly one-way to avoid normative concerns from conservation science inappropriately affecting the descriptive discipline of taxonomy. In this paper, I argue against this widely assumed standard view on the relation between these two disciplines by highlighting two important roles for conservation scientists in scientific decisions that are part of the internal stages of taxonomy. I show that these roles imply that the two disciplines should be interdependent and that value-judgments should play a substantial role in both.
