Where do my environmental ethics lie?

My environmental ethics lie more towards ecocentric rather than biocentric or anthropocentric. An ecocentric person believes in the integrity of the whole ecological system and believes the system is more important than any individual. I believe every part of the ecosystem should be valued equally because the overall health of the ecosystem is most important. All living and non-living components play a vital role in an ecosystem. Without non-living components of an ecosystem, shelter and food for living organisms would be compromised.Without the non-living components of an ecosystem, the ecosystem would not have important essential gases, which would negatively affect the living organisms. Every living organism plays an important role in population regulation in an ecosystem. It is common for humans to believe they are superior in an ecosystem. However, I believe it is very important to take every living and non-living component into account, so the ecosystem can be as healthy and complete as possible.
