Activity: Classifying the Value of Biodiversity Directions: You are going to look around the area or ecosystem around you. You will list down fifteen (15) organisms found in that area and describe the value of the organism. Then you will classify the value by putting a happy face(☺️) on the space under the correct column. Read Me! What is the difference between direct economic value and indirect economic value? The value of an ecosystem can be distinguished as: Use value - Can be split into Direct and Indirect use values: Direct use value: Obtained through a removable product in nature (i.e. timber, fish, water). Indirect use value: Obtained through a non-removable product in nature (i.e. sunset, waterfall). What is the indirect economic value of biodiversity? What is also the indirect economic value of biodiversity? Indirect economic value is a SERVICE provided by organizations that does not need to be collected. To produce medicine, food and clothing, all organisms must be harvested, while organisms readily provide flood protection. What is the indirect economic value? The benefits derived from the goods and services provided by an ecosystem that are used indirectly by an economic agent. For example, an agent at some distance from an ecosystem may derive benefits from drinking water that has been purified as it passed through the ecosystem. Copy and complete the table below.
