Abstract
We study the decision to preserve diverse species when the value of biodiversity is uncertain, or even affected by ambiguity. The optimal decision is adopted based on a real option framework. The major findings are that while calculated risk creates a scope for biodiversity preservation, the presence of ambiguity reduces it, thus accelerating the extinction of species with lower value.
