Protect nature has a whiff of Nimby-ism. We are implicitly fine with nature being destroyed for where we live now since I assume most of us aren't living mega high rises that hold 1000s of people in a small net area.
I do agree we shouldn't build outward endlessly when its not needed but that's more because its inefficient to service and requires more driving, etc rather than worrying about a turtle. Not that I don't like turtles, but we crushed endless turtles for my neighbourhood to exist so hard for me to say - no more turtle killing for the new neighbourhood.
