Solution

Part 1: Reasons why the biological wealth is immeasurable
It seems to be quite impossible that we will be able to discover the biological wealth because-

Many species are yet to be discovered.

The discovery and the enumeration of these species will mean the involvement of a lot of people and government initiatives.

Considering the current situation of our environment where pollution is increasing, a large number of species face the threat of extinction.

Thus several species might get extinct even before they are recorded.
