The Productive Value of Nature
Nature’s resources, including raw materials, are crucial for developing new medicines, industrial products, and various goods. These resources act as a repository for potential innovations and advancements. However, the degradation of these species and resources could lead to significant negative impacts. Environmental Studies (EVS) emphasizes the need for the protection and sustainable management of natural resources to prevent environmental damage and ensure continued progress.
Aesthetic and Recreational Value of Nature
Nature holds significant aesthetic and recreational value, enhancing our quality of life on Earth. This value is experienced through the development of national parks and wildlife sanctuaries in undisturbed areas. These spaces not only offer beauty and leisure but also provide insight into natural ecosystems, reminding us that we are an integral part of these systems.
