Q83) ‘Broadly utilitarian’ argument for the conservation of biodiversity does not include?
The correct option is A a) Bio prospecting
A) Explanation:
The broadly utilitarian argument says that biodiversity plays a major role in many ecosystemservices that nature provides. The fast-dwindling Amazon forest is estimated to produce,through photosynthesis, 20 per cent of the total oxygen in the earth’s atmosphere. We cannot putan economic value on this service by nature. Pollination is another service, ecosystems provide through pollinators layer– bees, bumblebees, birds and bats. There are other intangible benefits – that we derive fromnature–the aesthetic pleasures of walking through thick woods, watching spring flowers in fullbloom or waking up to a bulbul’s song in the morning.
Bioprospecting, that is, exploring molecular, genetic and species-level diversity for products of economic importance comes under Narrowly utilitarian argument.
