Mesa Community College Consumptive Values of the Amazon Basin Discussion
I don’t know how to handle this Biology question and need guidance.
(1) Using the Foley et al. (2007) article, identify the following from the Amazon Basin:
(a) Identify TWO direct use values: ONE consumptive, and ONE non-consumptive. Explain why you believe that these are consumptive and nonconsumptive direct use values.
(b) Identify ONE indirect use value and explain why you believe this is an indirect use value.
(2) Now, think about one of the problems that Foley and colleagues focus on in their article: Amazon Basin deforestation. With this problem in mind, do the following:
(a) Identify ONE cost and ONE benefit related to Amazon Basin deforestation.
(b) Explain whether you think the cost you identified outweighs the benefit you identified. Refer to one of the values you identified in Part (1) in your explanation.
