The point #1 is expanded on in Feral by George Monbiot. Basically, we have a tendency to see the outside world we grew up with as the way things naturally should be, ignoring that previous generations may have changed it to be that way. That sheep-grazed pastoral landscape is easy to view as a thing worth preserving, but to an ecologist it might be a barren waste where there used to be a beautiful forest.
