Conservation of what? Exact state of the ecosystem today? That goes until the next comet hits the Earth. And eventually all the life dies out when Earth core gets colder and volcanism ends. But with humans there is a chance to save and spread the life in general by moving to other planets, and using other yet unknown technologies.
- darth_avocado 2y agoYes the remaining ecosystem we have left today. Earth core will colder in millions of years. The rate at which we’re making life in general except for a few strains that are useful for human consumption, will not last that long. And yes a comet could hit the earth any time and wipe out all life, but that also means it could happen before you moved to other planets by using unknown technologies. A comet could wipe out all humans as well, but we don’t use that as an excuse to start wiping out other humans do we? Then why don’t those rules apply to the rest of the life we share this planet with?

Same here, if life has any chance at all to survive long term, that chance is through humans. Sadly we are not all powerful and some species will go extinct before being restored, but if humans are "removed" these species living a few more years on a doomed planet is not any better. Moreover, saying that ultimate goal of nature conservation is removal of humans is simply counterproductive, it makes people ignore the nature conservation efforts as suicidal mental illness, while we are mindlessly wasting priceless library of useful genes and proteins that took billion years to develop.
