ORIGINAL SOURCE

The dominant model of biological conservation everywhere is the national park: human exclusion from reserves designed for other species. The plausibility of this model arises from the fact that many extinctions are known to have been caused by human activities such as hunting, deforestation, and industrial pollution. During the last fifteen years, additional support has come from a new and highly fashionable science, conservation biology, which emerged in the United States in the 1980s. Devoted to the conservation of all biological diversity, rather than to the conservation and effective use of any specific resource, it is easily distinguishable from scientific forestry, fisheries biology, and so on, which nonetheless have some claim to be its intellectual antecedents.
