biocentric ethics

Biocentric ethics is a moral perspective that assigns intrinsic value to all living beings, recognizing that plants, animals, and ecosystems have worth independent of their usefulness to humans. It emphasizes respecting and protecting life in all its forms, promoting harmony between humans and the natural world. Unlike human-centered views that prioritize human interests, biocentric ethics advocates for a balanced approach that considers the rights and well-being of all living organisms, encouraging sustainable practices and stewardship to preserve biodiversity and ecological health.
