生物多样性的保护涉及到处理人类造成的问题，通过应用包含人类行动的解决方案。因此，了解人类的态度、知识和行为是保护研究和实践的核心。该专题汇集了来自一系列学科（生态学，人文地理学，政治学，土地经济学，管理学）的作者，以研究保护研究中使用的一套定性技术：访谈，焦点小组讨论，名义组技术和多标准决策分析。这些技术可用于一系列活动，最主要的是了解人们的观点、价值观和态度，并收集有关物种、生态系统或自然资源管理方法的信息。将人类的价值观、感知、判断和知识纳入保护决策是定性技术的一个重要作用;它们为提交这些信息或知识作为证据提供了强有力的手段。这篇特稿中的文章强调了保护文献中定性方法的理由不足和报告不足的令人担忧的程度。为了改进和鼓励在保护科学中更多地使用这些技术，我们敦促改进对原理和方法的报告，同时沿着对方法本身的创新、适应和进一步测试。
Conservation of biodiversity involves dealing with problems caused by humans, by applying solutions that comprise actions by humans. Understanding human attitudes, knowledge and behaviour are thus central to conservation research and practice. The special feature brings together authors from a range of disciplines (ecology, human geography, political science, land economy, management) to examine a set of qualitative techniques used in conservation research: Interviews, Focus group discussion, The Nominal Group Technique and multi‐criteria decision analysis. These techniques can be used for a range of purposes—most notably to understand people's perspectives, values and attitudes and to gather information about approaches to management of species, ecosystems or natural resources. Incorporating human values, perceptions, judgements and knowledge into conservation decision making is an important role for qualitative techniques; they provide robust means for submitting this information or knowledge as evidence. The articles in this special feature highlight a worrying extent of poor justification and inadequate reporting of qualitative methods in the conservation literature. To improve and encourage greater use of these techniques in conservation science, we urge improved reporting of rationales and methods, along with innovation, adaptation and further testing of the methods themselves.
