Conservation biology has evolved to include the social aspects of biodiversity, recognizing the importance of human involvement in nature. This shift has led to a broader understanding of the human-nature relationship, with humans seen as both drivers and beneficiaries of ecosystems. The field now emphasizes integrated approaches that value contributions from the social sciences to address conservation challenges effectively. It is widely accepted that social sciences play a crucial role in biological conservation, highlighting the need for a comprehensive understanding of human interactions with the environment.
