How to use valuable in a sentence?

1. Van Beek:

They are places where special plants, animals (live) and they are very important carbon stocks that protect against climate change, but if you look at this type of research, we could say they are extremely valuable cultural archives as well, which yield really high quality evidence about human behavior for millennia.

2. Tim Cameron:

   The most valuable asset that a campaign has is a great email list.

   Granting legal equality is often easier to achieve than issues that try to get at material or political equality, where there is something quite valuable that is being allocated and people feel not just a loss of some symbol but a genuine sense of a loss of power, or a threat to their material well-being.

4. Kevin Sparks Janeway:
