There is incredible value that (cannot be given a price tag) in conserving habitat for wildlife. These habitats also provide ecosystem services (like flood prevention). We can build homes and protect wildlife- it's not an either/or situation. Let's use some ingenuity.

Things like birdsong bring joy. Don't discount the importance of birds, animals and trees to quality of life.
