Discussion Post 2 – Why Put a Value on Nature?
The main topic this week was to examine the value of biodiversity according to several different ways of thinking (anthropocentric versus biocentric). For discussion 2, evaluate which view of biodiversity best represents you and explain why you feel this way. In your discussion, include 2 potential implications (either positive, negative or both) that you see in valuing biodiversity this way. Do you think it is important to value nature from an intrinsic perspective (versus a monetary one)? Why or why not. Discuss.
