Abstract from DBPedia
    Nature conservation is the moral philosophy and conservation movement focused on protecting species from extinction, maintaining and restoring habitats, enhancing ecosystem services, and protecting biological diversity. A range of values underlie conservation, which can be guided by biocentrism, anthropocentrism, ecocentrism, and sentientism, environmental ideologies that inform ecocultural practices and identities. There has recently been a movement towards evidence-based conservation which calls for greater use of scientific evidence to improve the effectiveness of conservation efforts. As of 2018 15% of land and 7.3% of the oceans were protected. Many environmentalists set a target of protecting 30% of land and marine territory by 2030. In 2021, 16.64% of land and 7.9% of the oceans were protected. The 2022 IPCC report on climate impacts and adaptation, underlines the need to conserve 30% to 50% of the Earth's land, freshwater and ocean areas – echoing the 30% goal of the U.N.'s Convention on Biodiversity. Ultimately, these movements should be further promoted to encourage biodiversity and to conserve a functional ecosystem.

    自然保護(しぜんほご、nature conservation )とは、種を絶滅から守り、生息地を維持し回復させ、生態系サービスを高め、生物多様性を守ることに焦点を当てた、道徳哲学および保全運動である。保護の根底には幅広い価値観があり、生命中心主義、人間中心主義、生態系中心主義、感覚主義がそれに影響しうる。 近年では根拠に基づく保全への動きがあり、保護活動の効果を上げるために、より多くの科学的証拠を用いることが求められている。2018年現在、陸地の15% と海洋の7.3% が保護されている。環境主義者の多くが、2030年までに陸地と海域の30% を保全するという目標を立てている。
