Respect for nature is the central theme of the poem. The killing of the albatross sets in motion the "penance" that the mariner must do to pay for his sin. Part of what makes his sin so heinous is that there is no reason for him to shoot the bird. ... With this they hang the dead albatross around the mariner's neck.

Answer:
The "moral" of the poem, its lesson, is stated very overtly near the end: "He prayeth best, who loveth best / All things both great and small." That is, to be approved by God, one must love all of God's creatures. Respect for nature is the central theme of the poem.
