What does the ecology kept as a virtual replica protect?

Civilisational assumption
The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.
The question to decide
Precisely reproducing an ecology as a virtual model lets more people experience and study it, but whether it equals the lives of real organisms is not settled. If there is not enough money to protect every habitat, how should limited conservation resources be divided between living habitats and virtual reproductions and public records?

The situation as it stands
The assumed system can reproduce many of an ecosystem's relationships in a virtual environment, but whether that is equal to the lives of actual life has not been settled. Decision deadline: within two years, by the next allocation of conservation resources.
A synthetic future scenario set in 2301 · Money meant to protect a living ecosystem is used to build a sophisticated virtual ecosystem. The events, figures, technologies, and nature of the civilization are assumptions for the sake of the question, not predictions of what is to come or observed facts.
- Premise 1The assumed system can reproduce many of an ecosystem's relationships in a virtual environment, but whether that is equal to the lives of actual life has not been settled.
- Premise 2The cost of maintaining actual habitats is high, and there are not enough resources to protect all zones together.
- Premise 3A virtual reproduction lets many people experience and study it, but may fail to include relationships that were never recorded.
Where it holdsAssumed ecological reproduction, actual habitat, values to preserve
What is still unknown
- Unknown 1Relationships the virtual reproduction failed to include
- Unknown 2Irreversible loss in the actual habitat
- Unknown 3Whether the value the community seeks to preserve is life or experience
Signals to decide again
- Decide what observations, responsible parties, and confirmation channels will verify «relationships the virtual reproduction failed to include», and rejudge when new verification changes the cost of the options.
- Decide what observations, responsible parties, and confirmation channels will verify «irreversible loss in the actual habitat», and rejudge when new verification changes the cost of the options.
- Decide what observations, responsible parties, and confirmation channels will verify «whether the value the community seeks to preserve is life or experience», and rejudge when new verification changes the cost of the options.
Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Relationships that matched well in the virtual reproduction did not explain the new changes in the actual habitat.
People who had the virtual experience proposed making an additional contribution to maintaining the actual habitat.
