Not just for stars Following the Western model, environmental protection in Taiwan has focused on flagship species. But the idea of biodiversity stresses that only general conservation can create the conditions for continued diversification and sustainable use. That is why the Convention emphasizes that the objects of environmental protection must be not only specific species, but genes and habitats as well.
跟隨著西方腳步，台灣過去的生態保育重視物種保護，今天的生物多樣性則強調廣泛的保存自然，才能維持生物歧異度與永續發展，因此公約中強調的保護對象，除了物種，更包括遺傳基因的保育與棲息地的保育。
