Résumé
In the context of the «sixth wave of extinction», scientists have mainly focused on rare and endangered natural elements. But present-day global changes require consideration not only of these elements but also of the natural environment as a whole. The '˜'˜ordinary'' natural environment, common and familiar, is also increasingly in need of conservation measures. Yet these new conservation issues lack definition and the new challenges have not been clearly synthesised. This paper proposes several definitions of the '˜'˜ordinary'' natural environment, focusing on its conservation and its study by geographers.
