Abstract
Biodiversity is the web of life that keeps us alive. From the algae that first evolved to
conduct photosynthesis, converting sunshine into food and carbon dioxide into oxygen, to
the goats, cattle and horses that provide us with transport, milk and meat, human life is
bound up in interdependencies with other species. But it would be hubristic to assume
that other species are only important, only justify their existence, because they are useful
for humankind.
