It is what a rationale, scientific conservation and species studies determines it to be. Conservation. Wise Use. Sustainable yield.
But increasingly in a broad spectrum across environmental resource issues, we are not getting them. We are getting outright bans, absent detailed inquiry. Why?

By the way, the proper term for this is preservation.
