"On-site (or 'in-situ') conservation" is seen as most fitting the nature and interests of wild animals. Moreover, if through this concept people can recognize that protection of the larger environment is far more important than having a few star animals pampered in captivity, that is the only genuinely successful ecological education.
「就地保育」也被視為最符合野生動物的習性與利益，而若能透過這樣的觀念，讓人們認知大環境的維護比僅僅照顧少數明星動物來得重要，也才能達到真正的生態教育。
