| The importance of science in conservation biology | |
| 1996 Conservation Biology (10): 918-919 | |
Barry and Oelschlaeger imply that science is an inappropriate foundation for the field of conservation biology. Instead, they assert that conservation biology should be defined by its "sympathy with biogeographical process to the end of preserving of biodiversity and ongoing evolution". The fact that essays such as this are published in Conservation Biology indicates that some conservation biology remains to be defined. We provide an opinion on the balance between values, science, and advocacy because they are important in structuring a unique and important niche for the Society of Conservation Biology and its journal, Conservation Biology. |
