Define biological wealth and apply the concept to human use of that wealth

What will be an ideal response?


The biota "and the ecosystems they form represent wealth—the biological wealth—that comprises most of the ecosystem capital that sustains human life and economic activity with goods and services. From this perspective, the biota found in each country represents a major component of the country's wealth." "Humans have always depended upon Earth's biological wealth for food and materials, and as animals, we have always exploited wild species for food." Humans depend upon ecosystems and the biota for food, clothing, housing, and all aspects of our lives.
