BIODIVERSITY AT DIFFERENT
LEVELS
Value of Biodiversity

1. Consumptive use value: (based


on direct consumption). Fuel ,
food, fibre, pulp, wood fall uner
this group. Eg: barks of cinchona
yields quinine which helps in
curing malaria. Isabgol a
domestic herbal cure for bowel
disorders is obtained from
Plantago.
2.Productive use value: ( based on
product use). These are the
commercially usable values where the
product is marketed and sold. These
may include animal products like
tusks of elephants, musks from deer,
silk from silkworm, etc. many
industries are dependent on
productive use values of biodiversity.
Eg: paper industry, textile industry,
leather industry, etc.
3. Social value: ( based on socio
cultural use). These are the
values associated with social
life, customs, religion and
psycho spiritual aspects of the
people. Biodiversity has
distinct social value, attached
with different societies.
4.Ethical value: ( based on the
ethics of existence). It
involves ethical issues like
“all life must be preserved”.
The ethical value means that
we may or we may not use a
species, but knowing the very
fact that this species exists in
nature gives us pleasure.
5. Aesthetic value: (based on
aesthetics). Great aesthetic
value is attached to
biodiversity as it gives us
pleasure, peace of mind,
excitement and a feeling of
appreciation.
6. Option value: ( based on some
known utility that is to be explored).
These includes potentials of
biodiversity that are presently
unknown and need to be explored.
Option value is the value of knowing
that there are biological resources
existing in the biosphere that may
one day prove to be an effective
option for something important in
the future.
