Answer:

Biodiversity conservation

Explanation:

<em>Biodiversity conservation means the protection of different species of organisms present around the world due to their potentials to be a source of drug, food, industrial materials or other important human use.</em>

Several important species that could have been a source of food or other important materials have gone extinct either naturally or due to direct/indirect human actions.

Assuming rosy periwinkle has gone extinct, there is no way its extract would have been discovered to be a good treatment for cancer.

<em>Hence, biodiversity conservation or preservation are efforts put in place to preserve organisms that will serve as our future heritage.</em>
