With the rapid growth of world population and the accompanying destruction of the natural environment, the protected species lists of every country "ought only to grow," stresses Fang Kuo-yun of the Council of Agriculture's Department of Resource Conservation. "Man's successful conservation efforts should never result in an animal being taken off the list."
以今天地球人口增加的速度，自然環境開發的猛烈，在各國保育名單上，「應保育的動物只有增加的，幾乎沒有機會因為人們保育成功而被剔除在名單之外的」，農委會保育科方國運也強調。
