Biodiversity should be conserved for the following three reasons:

a) Narrowly utilitarian - Humans derive countless economic benefits from nature- e.g. food, firewood, fibre, industrial products.

b) Broadly utilitarian - Play role in many ecological services e.g. production of O2, pollination.

c) Ethical - Every species has an intrinsic value and we have a moral duty to care for their well-being and pass on our biological legacy in good order to future generations.

The two approaches to save the tiger is:
a) In situ conservation– protect the natural habitat of the forest where the tiger lives/protect the whole ecosystem to save tigers.
b) Ex situ conservation– threatened tigers are taken out of their natural habitat and placed in special settings for protection and special care/e.g. zoological park, wildlife sanctuaries.
