HL.c.6—Instrumental and intrinsic not exclusive

Allow instrumental and intrinsic values together.

Instrumental and intrinsic value are not mutually exclusive; one entity can matter for human benefits and for its own sake.

Whales can be valued as living beings and also for cultural, aesthetic or tourism benefits.

When evaluating a decision, list both kinds instead of forcing a single category.

Key idea: Allow instrumental and intrinsic values together.

Recognising an economic benefit does not erase intrinsic value.
