Productive Value of Nature As scientists make new ad vances in Helds such as bio technology we begin to understand that the world's spees contain an incredible and uncountable number of complex chemicals. These are the raw materials that are used for developing new medi- cines and industrial products and are a store house from which to develop thousands of new products in the future. The flowering plants and insects that form the most specesrich groups of living organisms are thus vital for the future development of man. If we degrade their habitat these species will become extinct. coms fom an ses eyela i used a produce hat Inform the authortles, we become party to it extinction. Once they are lost, man cannot bring them back. When we permit the destruction of a forest, wetland or other natural area and do not protest abour it, Future generations are being denied the use of these valuable resources and will blame us for these rash and negigent actions towards the enuironment. Thus the urgent need to protect all living species is a concept that we need to understand and act upon. While individually, we perhaps cannot direct ly prevent the extinction of a speces, creating a strong public opinion to protect the National Parks and Wildlife sactuarles in which wild species lue is an importance aspect of sustainable living. There is a Close link between agriculture and the forest, which Illustrates its productive value. For crops to be succes fur , the flowers of frult trees and vegetables must be pollinared by insects, bats, and birds. Their litecycles however frequently require intact forests.
