Question

Waking up to a bulbul’s song in the morning is related to
A) Narrow utilitarian
B) Broadly utilitarian
C) Ethical
D) Both (b) and (c)

Answer 1

The visual pleasures of wandering through dense forests, seeing spring flowers in full bloom or driving up to bulbul’s song in the morning are endless tremendous benefits that we expect from nature.

Complete answer:
The conservation of biodiversity relates to biodiversity upliftment, protection, and maintenance in order to obtain environmental benefits for current and future generations. The conservation of biodiversity is the preservation and management of nature for the purpose of extracting capital for sustainable production.

Now, let us find the solution from the options-
- Bioprospecting is the study of biological, genetic and species-level variation for the acquisition of commercially significant goods. It falls under a narrowly utilitarian category. Thus, option A is not the correct option.

- The broadly utilitarian theory argues that in many ecological services that nature offers, biodiversity plays a significant role. It is predicted that the quickly declining Amazon forest would provide 20 percent of the remaining oxygen in the earth's atmosphere by photosynthesis. Another operation is pollination (without whom plants could not send us fruits or seeds); habitats include bumblebees, bees, bats and birds via the pollinator layer. The visual benefits of wandering through dense forests, seeing spring flowers in bloom or waking up to the song of a bulb in the morning are other intrinsic advantages that we obtain from nature.

- Ethical utilitarian assertions that we owe philosophically or religiously to millions of animals, plant, and microbe organisms with which we share this world, we need to understand that every ecosystem has an intrinsic value, even though it may not be of cultural or economic importance to us. Thus, option C is not the correct option.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B) Broadly utilitarian.

Note: Any areas with very high levels of habitat productivity and high degree of endemism have been established on a global basis for optimum animal and plant conservation called 'biodiversity hotspots' areas.
