People love nature but don't want to give up low-density living, or stop eating beef. Though the latter is the larger issue by far, since we use 50x more land for agriculture than we do for all cities and towns. And 3/4 of agricultural land we use is to pasture animals we eat or grow food to feed them. So agricultural sprawl is a large part of the loss of biodiversity. Eating plants is much more land-efficient (and water-efficient), but people ain't giving up their beef burgers and steaks for anything.
