Answer 1

Heya mate here is ur answer

1. Direct values-These are those ways by which we can directly use biodiversity for our benefit. For example we can use plants as food of for deriving medicines in the laboratory. Economic value and recreational value comes under this category.
2. Indirect values or Non-Consumptive value-These are those ways by which we don't physically use a plant or animal, but by virtue of its existence it provides services that keep the ecosystem healthy. Indirect values would include ethical or moral value, existence value, ecological value, aesthetic value, cultural or spiritual value, option value and scientific or educational value.
3. Social values -Social value of biodiversity lies in the more and more use of resources by affluent societies. Local use or sale of products if biodiversity is not included in it. Yet, 'ecosystem people' value biodiversity as a part of their livelihood as well as through cultural and religious sentiments
4. Ethical and Moral value-Every species has its moral right to exist on earth. Every human culture, religion and society has its own ethical values. There are several cultural, moral and ethical values, which are associated with the conservation of biodiversity. We have in our country a large number of sacred grooves or deolis preserved by tribal people in several States. These sacred groves around ancient sacred sites and temples act as gene banks for wild plants.
5. Economical value-We depend heavily on biological products for our survival. Biodiversity has economic value because it is a source of important products.
