Question:

Waking up to a bulbul's song in the morning is related to which of the following ?

Options:

Narrow utilitarian

Broad utilitarian

Ethical

both 2 and 3

Correct Answer:

Broad utilitarian

Explanation:

The broadly utilitarian argument says that biodiversity plays a major role in many ecosystem services that nature provides. The fast dwindling Amazon forest is estimated to produce, through photosynthesis, 20 per cent of the total oxygen in the earth’s atmosphere 

There are other intangible benefits – that we derive from nature–the aesthetic pleasures of walking through thick woods, watching spring flowers in full bloom or waking up to a bulbul’s song in the morning is related to broad utilitarian.
