Ambio. 2021 May;50(5):970-975. doi: 10.1007/s13280-020-01476-9. Epub 2021 Feb 10.
Fifty years have elapsed since the first publication of Ambio. Throughout this period, fundamental changes have occurred in societal attitudes to biodiversity conservation. Ambio has published numerous papers that have aligned with these new approaches. High citations numbers suggest that Ambio papers have had a significant impact on conservation strategies. We review these publications and find that they align well with changed societal perspectives on biodiversity. Ambio papers have called for greater contributions of local and indigenous peoples and for conservation in multi-functional landscapes. The 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity built on these principles. Negotiations are now underway for a post-2020 framework for biodiversity. Ambio papers have argued for a stronger scientific basis for conservation and for the need to adapt to changing conditions and to the rich diversity of societal preferences for conservation. International processes favor simple, generalizable approaches to conservation but we call for recognition of the diversity of ecological and human conditions in which conservation occurs. There is a need to build capacity to support a diversity of conservation approaches that are adapted to changing local conditions and to the priorities of diverse human societies.
自《AMBIO》创刊以来，已经过去了 50 年。在此期间，社会对生物多样性保护的态度发生了根本性的变化。《AMBIO》发表了许多论文，这些论文与这些新方法相吻合。高引用数量表明，《AMBIO》论文对保护策略产生了重大影响。我们回顾了这些出版物，发现它们与社会对生物多样性的观点变化非常吻合。《AMBIO》论文呼吁更多地发挥当地和土著人民的作用，并在多功能景观中进行保护。1992 年《生物多样性公约》就是基于这些原则。目前正在就 2020 年后的生物多样性框架进行谈判。《AMBIO》论文主张为保护提供更坚实的科学基础，需要适应不断变化的条件和社会对保护的丰富偏好。国际进程倾向于采用简单、可推广的保护方法，但我们呼吁承认保护所发生的生态和人类条件的多样性。有必要建立能力，以支持适应不断变化的当地条件和不同人类社会优先事项的多种保护方法。
