I think pretty much everything that could be said has been said.
We are tied to the environment, no matter which way you look at it. Everything that supports our lifestyles is a direct result of something in the environment. If we go out and destroy everything, we pull the plug on our life support system and kill ourselves!
Most people wouldn't think that a single species of frog is important, but when you pull back and look at the big picture, that frog fits into a complex system; it is a cog in a huge machine that is prone to damage. Life is a delicate thing, and since we have the power to destroy it, we also have the power to save it.
Why save wildlife? Because it is clearly the most intelligent choice. Since when is destruction of life a good thing?
