Solution:

We should conserve biodiversity. The reason for this can be broadly divided into three categories.
(i) Narrowly utilitarian (Humans derive a major part of their requirement from organisms).
(ii) Broadly utilitarian (Biodiversity is fundamental to ecosystem services of nature).
(iii) Ethical (Every living species has an intrinsic value, it is our moral duty not to destroy them).
