I don’t follow the last paragraph, first it acknowledges and claims the areas are beautiful landscapes and then it goes on to portray people who want to protect them as straw man extremists… there are a ton of people who want to protect those areas but don’t advocate for the extinction of the human race as the paragraph implies, why would that straw man be made?

I didn't say that everyone who wants to set limits on development of natural areas is an extremist; but if you listen to some of the rhetoric from some real extremists who want to limit all development to zero and tear out existing infrastructure (like Glen Canyon Dam) in order to restore everything to its original state then you know it is not just a straw man.
