Description
Summary:Biodiversity2 comprises the variation of living species on earth upon which its human population depends for survival.3 This is so because diversity maintains biospheric conditions without which human life, integrally tied up with all other forms of life on earth, would become extinct. Related to its life-sustaining properties, biodiversity's capacity sustains the provision of a valuable set of natural resources that includes water, food and medicinal materials. In addition biodiversity is accorded intrinsic value because a growing number of individuals believe that mankind has an ethical obligation to conserve every other form of life on earth. Humans are one of numerous species who occupy space on earth, together comprising an environment upon which the diversity and survival of all species are dependent. Viewed historically these are relatively new intellectual and belief systems.
