Putting biodiversity and nature up against humans doesn't really make much sense. Many conservationists now argue human well-being and health be the main idea in conservation.
Preserving biodiversity for itself, mainly in areas called hot spots, is not a working conservation strategy. Paying more attension on trying to preserve ecosystems that are vital to humans material needs and health, makes much more sense. These ecosystems are ones such as forests, wetlands, keeping clean water, and protecting mangroves that helps maintain fisheries, and provide a wall of defense against storms and such.
Saving these ecosystems can help ensure that the biodiversity is preserved, and humans are still the main priority.
