Instrumental Value of Biodiversity
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State

Show
Wild pollinator diversity supports crop yields one managed pollinator species alone could not sustain.
Watch for
The instrumental argument justifies value by usefulness to humans — one argument among several, not the only one.
