Awareness about Biodiversity Needs to Be Raised

This makes them malnourish, many of them face hunger, and they may die of starvation. Sumatran rhinoceros are threatened with poaching (illegal hunting). They were looking for drugs at the corners. Gee's Golden Langur is a species that is threatened by loss of habitat. They are losing their habitat for deforestation. Data on species decline rate, population number, range of geographical distribution, and number of debris of population are used to determine the taxonomic level of the species.

Fortunately, more and more organizations such as WWF and Sasha Jacobs continue to raise international awareness. Through this, the process of achieving healthy wildlife is increasingly possible. According to them, biodiversity is the foundation of the health of the earth and directly affects our lives. In other words, a reduction in biodiversity means that millions of people face the future that food supply is more vulnerable to pests and diseases and freshwater supplies are irregular or deficient. Excessive efforts to protect wildlife is certainly worthwhile if biodiversity can dramatically affect the lives of mankind.

We are responsible for protecting biodiversity. Loss of biodiversity poses an ethical question of human protection against flora and fauna responsibility. Utilitarianism, morality, biocenterism, ecological focus, and feminist ethics The way that biodiversity is lost leads to different conclusions about responsibility for protecting plants, animals, and ecosystems. We believe that responsibility for protecting animals and plants is derived from the utility value of human beings. People who use the value of animals and plants based on humans can measure the potential market value of foods, medicines, fibers, petroleum substitutes, etc. I will try to quantify this. It is a value. Others believe that plants and animals have inherent values ​​and should be regarded as sacred subjects rather than materials consumed by humans. If biodiversity has value that can not be quantified in market transactions, it should not be considered as an item in cost-benefit analysis.

Biodiversity is important for most aspects of our lives. There are many reasons why we have biodiversity, Utilitarianism, inner things exist. Utilitarian values ​​include many of the basic needs that human beings derive from biodiversity, such as food, fuel, evacuation centers and medicines. In addition, the ecosystem provides important services such as pollination, seed sowing, climate adjustment, water purification, nutrient circulation, agricultural pest control and so on. Biodiversity is also valuable for potential benefits that are yet to be recognized, such as new drugs and other potentially unknown services. For spiritual or religious reasons, biodiversity is also cultural value for humans. The intrinsic value of biodiversity is its intrinsic value and has nothing to do with the value of others.
