If any psychological or subjective theory of ethics is true, then: virtue has no intrinsic value justice has no intrinsic value the motive of duty has no intrinsic value pleasure has no intrinsic value. If I desire something, that thing is good.

Many ethicists and advocates, and more than a few scientists, have argued that we must recognize nature's intrinsic value (i.e., its moral worth beyond its value to humans) if we want to make a truly effective case for the protection of wildlife, wetlands, wilderness, and so forth. Other ethicists and advocates, and again, more than a few scientists, have argued instead that we should focus on human-centered or anthropocentric reasons to protect the environment (e.g., economic benefit, human survival, etc.) because appeals to human self-interest are more intuitive and more politically powerful.
