which statement prizes species for their intrinsic value rather than for their ecosystem services?
redwoods must be preserved because they inspire awe.
the cheetah should be protected because it is the fastest land animal in the world.
this lake should be protected because it attracts thousands of tourists every year.
bees are valuable because they pollinate many foods that humans eat.

Explanation:

Intrinsic value refers to the value a species has in - and - of itself, not for its practical benefits. Redwoods inspiring awe is about their inherent worth. The cheetah's protection for being the fastest is still a kind of unique characteristic - based value. The lake's protection for tourist attraction and bees' value for pollination are about ecosystem services.

Answer:

Redwoods must be preserved because they inspire awe.
