It is inappropriate to prioritize the "efficiency of business" over the survival of the environment and endangered species. Businesses may adapt to inefficiencies or not, but there will always be a way for people to innovate and try again even when they fail.

We do not get to try again with the balance of ecosystems. Once a species is gone many thousands more will be impacted - creating scarcity of resources for predator animals, creating overpopulation in a species' primary prey, disruption of plant life due to lack of the normal feeding patterns an animal species may have, and more. It's very difficult to build lives and businesses on crumbling land or with dwindling resources that nature provides.
