Anthropocentrism is the belief or philosophy that humans are the most important or significant beings in the world and that other living beings, including animals and plants, exist only to serve human needs and interests. It places humans at the center of the universe and considers them as the measure of all things. This view sees nature as a resource to be exploited for human benefit and places little value on non-human life or ecosystems except for their instrumental value to humans.
