Preliminary...
The easiest way to give an example of the value of biodiversity
is to think about flight. Would Leonardo have wondered if we could fly
without having seen birds, bats, and insects? Nature is a vast pool of
inspiration, esthetically and practically. Bats, snakes, etc are all part
of that. I like these animals and am biased that we should have them
around, but beyond the esthetic and emotional inspiration, there are all
these possibilities for problem solving. Radar was discovered from the way
bats catch flying insects, snake venom contanins an anticoagulant, frog
skin has morphine minics, etc.
