The reason for conserving biodiversity depends on the value we place on individual species. This value arises from many considerations regarding our own interest and involvement. For many people, extinction raises a moral issue. Some take this position because if the human species affects the whole of nature, it is our moral responsibility to protect it. If morality stems from a natural law - that is, if morality is intrinsic to life itself - then we can assume that the rights of individuals and non-human species are as legitimate as those of individuals in human society.
