In addition to economic arguments, these are some bioethical arguments as well as to justify the protection of biodiversity.

The ethical arguments are due to value systems of most religious philosophers and cultures. The purpose is to stress for life, a pause of sense of intrinsic value in nature and a concept of divine creation. The ethical arguments for conservation of biodiversity are as follows:

(i) All species are interdependent as the loss of one species may have for reaching consequence for other members of community.

(ii) Resources should not be wasted.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

(iii) A respect for human life and human diversity.

(iv) Human should live within the same ecological limitations as other species live.

(v) Nature has spiritual and aesthetic values which have economic value.

(vi) Origin of life need to be determined by biodiversity.
