Abstract :As a result of unconscious, careless, and excessive use of natural resources, the natural balance is disturbed. Increasing population, industrialization, pollution, climatic changes, and other factors cause damage to biological diversity as a result of the deterioration of the natural balance. Human beings think that they can benefit from nature endlessly. However, it is obvious that as a result of decreasing biodiversity, it will also cause economic damage to human beings. There is also an ethical aspect of preserving biodiversity. Every living thing on earth has an undeniably important place in our ecosystem. As we mentioned in the review article, we encounter a major ethical problem when we look at the concepts of `nature conservation and `biodiversity conservation. At this point, it acts with a life-centered thought, and it is necessary to ensure the protection of every living thing, from the largest to the smallest, as a priority.
