ESR旨在提供實(shí)踐人類管理所需的知識。人類管理是人類最崇高的職責(zé)之一，也是科學(xué)面臨的最大挑戰(zhàn)之一。這是我們?nèi)祟愰L期生存的首要前提。只有許多人積極參與，包括科學(xué)界以外的人，才能實(shí)現(xiàn)有效的管理。ESR在堅(jiān)持科學(xué)原則的同時(shí)，將有助于激勵(lì)和告知準(zhǔn)備參與支持瀕危生物的個(gè)人和團(tuán)體。

ESR aims at providing the knowledge needed for practising human stewardship. Human stewardship is one of the noblest duties of humanity and one of the greatest challenges to science. And it is a primary prerequisite for long-term survival of our species, Homo sapiens. Effective stewardship can be achieved only if many people become actively involved, including people outside the scientific community. While insisting on scientific principles, ESR will help to motivate and inform individuals and groups who are prepared to participate in supporting endangered life.
