14 -‘Biodiversity is the variety of all life on Earth. It includes all species of animals and plants, and the natural systems that support them. Biodiversity matters because it supports the vital benefits we get from the natural environment. It contributes to our economy, our health and wellbeing, and it enriches our lives.’

16 -Biodiversity loss is important nationally and globally as it increases ‘…the risks of abrupt and irreversible changes to ecosystems’.  Beyond that, biodiversity clearly has intrinsic value.
