Conservation biology involves the collection and analysis of data. These scientific practices emerge from values that shape who and what is counted. Currently, conservation data is filtered through a value system that considers "native" life the only appropriate subject of conservation concern. We examined how trends in species richness, distribution, and threats change when all wildlife count by adding "non-native" and "feral" populations to global IUCN Red List and local species richness assessments. We focused on vertebrate populations whose founding members were taken into and out of Australia by humans (hence migrants). We identified 87 immigrant and 47 emigrant vertebrate species. We found that formal conservation accounts underestimate global ranges by an average of 30% for immigrants and 7% for emigrants; that immigrations surpass extinctions in Australia by 52 species; that migrants are disproportionately threatened, with 33% of immigrants and 29% of emigrants threatened or decreasing in their native ranges; and that incorporating migrant populations into risk assessments could reduce global threat statuses for 15 (of 18) species. We also found that Australian policies define most immigrants as "pests" (76%), and that conservation is the most commonly stated motivation for targeting these species in killing programs (37% of immigrants). Inclusive biodiversity data opens space for dialogue on the ethical and empirical assumptions underlying conservation biology.

当所有生命都值得保护时

保护生物学涉及数据的收集和分析。这些科学实践产生于塑造谁和什么被计算在内的价值观。目前，保护数据通过一个价值系统进行过滤，该系统将“本地”生命视为保护关注的唯一适当主题。我们通过将“非本地”和“野生”种群添加到全球 IUCN 红色名录和当地物种丰富度评估中，研究了当所有野生动物都计数时物种丰富度、分布和威胁的趋势如何变化。我们专注于脊椎动物种群，其创始成员被人类（因此是移民）带入和带出澳大利亚。我们确定了 87 种移民和 47 种移民脊椎动物物种。我们发现正式的保护账户平均低估了移民的全球范围 30% 和移民的 7%；移民超过澳大利亚灭绝的 52 个物种；移民受到不成比例的威胁，33% 的移民和 29% 的移民在他们的家乡受到威胁或减少；将移民种群纳入风险评估可以降低 15 个（共 18 个）物种的全球威胁状况。我们还发现，澳大利亚的政策将大多数移民定义为“害虫”（76%），而保护是在杀戮计划中针对这些物种的最常见动机（37% 的移民）。包容性生物多样性数据为就保护生物学背后的伦理和经验假设进行对话开辟了空间。文章影响声明：扩大保护的道德圈以包括所有野生动物变化保护数据。本文受版权保护。版权所有。
