生物多样性:动物保护伦理的终极目的

Biodiversity: Ultimate Purpose of Animal Protection Ethics

地球漫长演进中产生了生物多样性,人类生存也离不开生物多样性物质基础。随着人类的日益强大,人类的活动大大威胁到整个生态系统,从而破坏了生物多样性。许多野生动植物物种已经灭绝,更多的则正处于濒危状态。沿着动物生态保护理论发展的轨迹,我们知道其终级目的是保护生物多样性。

Biological diversity, as the result of century-old evolution of the earth, is indispensible for human beings. With the development of the human society, human activities have undermined the biological diversity, and thus lots of wildlife species have become extinct, and more species are endangered. Through exploring the track of ecological protection theory development, it can be found that the ultimate purpose of the theory is biological diversity protection.
