Abstract

The conservationist as such is not a natural scientist. He evaluates. Under this approach, a whole number of species-rich native biotic communities appear less worthy of support or are even contrary to the intended state of nature: should/must be fought. It is precisely to these communities that this chapter is dedicated.
