World Conservation Strategy
Open accessAbstract
Human beings, in their quest for economic development and enjoyment of the riches of nature, must come to terms with the reality of resource limitation and the carrying capacities of ecosystems, and must take account of the needs of future generations. This is the message of conservation. The World Conservation Strategy provides both an intellectual framework and practical guidance fo the conservation actions necessary.

In the citing paper
“The 'three-pillar' formulation itself, however, predates Barbier, at least implicitly, appearing in the IUCN's 1980 'World Conservation Strategy', O'Riordan (1985), the contemporaneous Brown et al. (1987), as well as in works preceding the language of sustainability, such as the discussions of 'eco-development' by Sachs and Passet's 1979 work.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
