Okay, so chapter 47, problem two, looking at what shows conservation biologists support ethical principles.
00:09
And so, of course, to support ethical principles, we're looking for something that sort of has good moral implications in the statement.
00:28
And so when we go through a list of choices given here, first we're giving given.
00:33
That bio of a diversity is observed at various levels.
00:40
And so this, this though, doesn't really have any ethics to it, right? so there's no ethical opinion here.
00:51
It's just a naturalist saying that they have seen it places.
00:56
So this can't really be the answer that we're looking for.
01:02
And then so we move on to the next one, which says that species give us goods and services, right? from wild species.
01:11
However, this would sort of imply that maybe we would keep the species that offers goods and not care about the ones that don't.
01:22
So maybe we don't care if cockroaches die, and we do care if turkeys go extinct.
01:28
We like to eat them for thanksgiving, at least here in the u .s.
01:32
We do.
01:34
So this sort of has some strange implications morally that we only care about some but not others and that's not really good for for biodiversity so for to increase biodiversity you have to sort of think that a cockroach and a turkey are on even playing field here and so this this certainly does not does not really fit with these ethical principles...
