Industrial Material: A wide variety of industrial materials are derived from biological resources which include building materials, gums, resins, adhesives, rubber, fibers, dyes, and oil.

Economic Benefits: Biodiversity uphold Economic activity by a Vast variety of food and medicine production, nutrient provision, fertile soil, foresty, fisheries, tourism, and by hunting.
