Measuring the worth of Natural Diversity in a narrow economic sense is like measuring ‘Mona Lisa’ by the tubes of paint or the size of canvas. We wont know the worth of what we mindlessly destroy (or fail to protect) without understanding it scientifically & holistically in light of a broader value system with an inclusive attitude.
By ‘inclusive attitude’ I mean that we humans should look at ourselves as a species cohabiting and depending on many other life forms on this planet. We cant continue to think of ourselves as an exclusive species with the right to consume and exploit every possible thing (irrespective of it being unsustainable).
