Which of the following is not ethical principle of conservation biology ?

  • A.The diversity of organism is good
  • B.The ultimately extinction of species is bad
  • C.Ecological complexity is bad
  • D.Evolution is good

Answer: C

The statement that is not a principle is Ecological complexity is bad.

Michael Soule's normative postulates of conservation biology (1985) state that the diversity of organisms is good, that the untimely extinction of populations and species is bad, that ecological complexity is good, that evolution is good, and that biotic diversity has intrinsic value.

The paper's option B, worded 'ultimately extinction', is the untimely-extinction postulate, and options A and D appear in the list as written. Only the claim that ecological complexity is bad contradicts it, since conservation aims to preserve that complexity.
