The claim that in natural resource management (NRM) a change from anthropocentric values and ethics to eco-centric ones is necessary to achieve sustainability leads to the search for eco-centric models of relationship with the environment. Indigenous cultures can provide such models; hence, there is the need for multicultural societies to further include their values in NRM. In this article, we investigate the environmental values placed on a freshwater environment of the Wet Tropics by a community of indigenous Australians. We discuss their environmental values as human values, and so as beliefs that guide communities’ understanding of how the natural world should be viewed and treated by humans. This perspective represents a step forward in our understanding of indigenous environmental values, and a way to overcome the paradigm of indigenous values as valued biophysical attributes of the environment or processes happening in landscapes. Our results show that the participant community holds biospheric values. Restoring these values in the NRM of the Wet Tropics could contribute to sustainability and environmental justice in the area.

A consumer is a living creature in the food chain that eats other consumers and maintains a balance in the food web. Primary producers are all green plants that prepare their food by their ability to utilize the sun's energy and convert that available raw energy into starch in their body by the process of photosynthesis.
These Autotrophs take up the organic matter through their roots in the form xylem and phylum and giving oxygen in the air. They form the base of the food chain on which are dependent Herbivorous like sheep, goat, cow, etc.
The secondary consumers are called the Carnivorous, like the lion, tiger, etc that feed on the bodies of herbivorous. Above this level is that of Omnivorous i.e both plant and animal eaters like the crow, man, and cat.
As stated by the law of thermodynamics energy can neither be destroyed nor created but transforms itself. The flow of energy at each trophic level gets successively transferred to the next trophic level from primary to secondary tertiary and so on.
Likewise, toxin concentration in trophic levels increased each level upwards and leads to biomagnification that is harmful to the entire food chain.
Political geography studies all the following except Economies ( answer A). Political geography is concern with study of both spatially uneven outcome of political processes and the ways in which political processes are themselves affected by spatial structure. It also involve study of boundaries and their associated region.
