The direct value of biodiversity is manifested in the production and consumption use value of food and leather, while its indirect use value is generally manifested in the conservation of water sources, purification of water quality, consolidation of embankments, prevention of soil erosion, reduction of flood peaks, improvement of local climate, and absorption of pollution. The role of carbon dioxide in the regulation of global climate change, and so on. Today, no one is sure that those species that have not been used will not be of value in the future. It is difficult to determine how much genetic material useful to the development of agroforestry can be provided by wild relatives of plants discovered and cultivated.
In addition, the existence of a variety of species and their systems in nature is conducive to the maintenance of the functions of the Earth's life support system and the stability of its structure. The value of a species’ existence and the loss of its disappearance are still difficult to assess accurately, just as the value of human existence cannot be evaluated.
This reminds me of the famous ancient Chinese philosophical thought "Tian ren he yi (Heaven and Man)", in which the sky refers to the sky, also refers to the way of heaven, and also refers to nature. The unity of man and nature refers to the state where man and Tao are united and "heaven and earth live side by side with me, and everything is one with me", and also refers to the unity of man and nature.
In conclusion, biodiversity is a gift from nature to mankind, which is completely profitable and harmless.
