In light of unprecedented threats to biodiversity posed by human activities
in the contemporary era, it is imperative to adopt effective and sustainable measures to protect biological diversity. Among these measures, the implementation of efficient biodiversity assessment mechanisms plays a crucial role in identifying and mitigating the negative impact of climate change, massive deforestation, and loss of natural habitats. This article proposes an analysis of the exceptional importance of the precautionary principle in the context of effectively implementing biodiversity assessment mechanisms. We will explore the theoretical foundations of this principle, emphasizing its justifications in the face of associated risks and uncertainties. Understanding and appropriately applying the precautionary principle can be an essential tool in our efforts to efficiently implement biodiversity assessment mechanisms and ensure biodiversity protection, promoting sustainable management of natural resources.
