Sustainability is central to biocentric ethics, advocating for the use of natural resources in ways that maintain ecosystem health over time. The ethical imperative here is to ensure the future well-being of both humans and non-human species.

A holistic view suggests that ethical decisions should consider the whole ecosystem, rather than component parts. This principle in biocentrism counsels against single-species preservation efforts that may bring harm to the ecosystem at large.

This principle promotes actions that minimize harm to living beings. Ethically, it supports harm-reduction strategies in human activities, which includes opposing unnecessary destruction of habitats and thoughtful resource consumption.

This principle underlines the fact that present actions have consequences for future generations. Biocentrism ethically calls for the preservation of the environment to ensure that future humans and species enjoy a liveable world.

Biocentrism calls for the recognition and respect of nature's self-regulating processes and its intrinsic right to exist and flourish without human interference. Ethically, it challenges practices that manipulate or control the natural world in harmful ways.

This concept challenges the anthropocentric view that humans are superior to other species. Biocentrism holds that placing humans at the center of environmental concerns is ethically flawed. Acknowledgment of equal status leads to fairer treatment of all species.

Biocentrism underscores the importance of maintaining a rich diversity of species as each has its own role in the ecosystem. Ethically, it leads to conservation efforts and protection of species against extinction, contributing to the health of the planet.

Biocentrism teaches that maintaining ecological balance is ethically significant, as it supports the coexistence and flourishing of all life forms. This principle encourages proactive measures to prevent disruptions of natural balances.

Although not exclusive to Biocentrism, Deep Ecology aligns with it through the belief that environmental concerns should be deeply rooted in ethical deliberations. It argues for fundamental changes to our lifestyle and policies to safeguard nature's integrity.

Bioegalitarianism is the principle that all living entities should be treated with equal moral consideration. This implies the ethical duty to regard the interests of non-human entities, such as animals and plants, similarly to human interests, leading to a balanced ecosystem management.

Biocentrism posits that all living beings have inherent value, irrespective of their utility to humans. This principle teaches respect for life forms beyond their instrumental value, encouraging a moral responsibility to protect and preserve all forms of life on ethical grounds.
