how much are species worth?????

Answer 1

Great question. It can be very difficult to place a monetary value on some species, say a mosquito. Others however are worth more than you could ever imagine. For example, bees pollinate almost all of our food crops in North America. Without them, the U.S. would suffer economic collapse. Most species do play some role that somehow impacts humans. There are some who would like to place a monetary value on every species, in order to justify their conservation. owever, this could backfire, if someone is rich (and foolish) enough to "buy" a species, and then run it to extinction.

Answer 2

Its depends on the species of plants you want to buy.

In my estimation, if you want to "buy" entire species of Oak-family tree, it will cost you, well probably 5 times more than Bill Gates could afford.

Take instance, rainforest. USA have spent more than $560 Billion to attempt to preserve the rainforest, and keep them away from proachers and deforestation. If I had more than $560 Billion, I would have bought a entire rainforest in Mexico and becomes my property, but not deforestate them.

Answer 3

Into Zen biology ,eh? Unanswerable question . Not likely to know unless it's gone & needs to be replaced (functionally). Even then you wouldn't know , because some of the potential value ( however you define it) would go undiscovered.Also interactions/connections affect "value" of other species , in almost infinite & indeterminable ways. So...... to answer question .....essentially priceless .

Answer 4

Priceless.

Answer 5

I'll give you a 100 bucks to kill off all of the fire ants.
