Yet there are difficulties associated with allowing the moral weight of nature to depend on its aesthetic value. We have already alluded to one of those difficulties in the previous paragraph: beauty, while not perhaps solely in the eye of the beholder, is not universally and objectively accessible. The Florida everglades are a good example — beautiful to some, a bug-infested swamp to others. Moreover, even if there were relatively widespread agreement about beauty, is all of nature beautiful? It seems improbable that some of it wouldn’t be ugly — and if so, does it deserve less moral consideration than the beautiful parts? Finally, even granting the beauty of the natural world, are we willing to commit ourselves to a principle that aesthetic value outweighs other types of value? It seems unlikely that we would be willing to do so outside of environmental ethics, so allowing the moral value of nature to rest on its aesthetic value seems to be a risky proposition.
