‘Values of
biodiversity’ are classified as
three main types. 1. Resources 2. Potential resources 3. Contributory factors. For
example, the biological materials are consumed in markets which are valued for
their recreational or aesthetic purposes. It is called as Resources category. Whereas,
an opportunities for the discovery of new product is called as Potential
resources. In last part, the functional role in ecosystem like ‘Niche’ is
called as Contributory factors.
