Biodiversity is a term that relates to the variety of living things on Earth. This link from the Endangered Species International does an exceptional job in identifying the need to protect the biodiversity of animals. The Endangered Species International speaks of the medical advancements and discoveries that are made be studying different animals.
From an ecological perspective, humans need to protect animals in order to keep a balance in the ecosystems. When the prevalence of a species is altered, entire food chains and food webs are also altered.
Some people take a Biblical perspective on the responsibility of humans in the protection of animals. The Bible repeatedly calls for humans to show love and compassion. In verse 28, God gives man the authority over all of God’s creations. Therefore, it is argued that this love and compassion be displayed to all of God’s creations, not just other humans.
I hope this helps!
