' GOOD SCIENCE = BAD CONSERVATION' Is this equation true?

Whenever i tried to think of this, it end in a truly confused stage.
its truly contradictory.
I think, as far as the branch of science 'TAXONOMY' is concerned, specimen collection is a must and so its against conservation. But the question then arises is, ' Instead of specimen collection, why dont we go for techniques like photography and all?
yes, its also right.

WHAT WILL BE THE ANSWER

    Great job Jobin..
    I have also thought about this. For conservation of a species we must first understand the species. And for this taxonomy is very important. So taxonomy and conservation is equally important but the problem comes when there is unnecessary collection of specimens. Photography cant be used as a tool for taxonomy as it dose not show all the details, but Molecular studies and phylogenetic studies can be a more effective tool for taxonomy.
