People like cuddly animals. Was some other reason required? Has nothing to do with evolution, (which isn't a belief, or a worldview, or a faith, etc etc etc). There isn't anything contradictory or illogical about whether or not a given person likes and/or feels empathy. How much time did you spend forming this little "argument" and is it anti-conservation or anti-evolution (or anti-"people have feelings")? Sometimes it isn't a cuddly feeling, but an attempt to protect a cornerstone species. You see, this place doesn't give a shit about us (or anything else on it), doesn't even know we're here. Every now and again we find out that we rely on species we hadn't given much thought to until they were gone/dangerously scarce. Sometimes we're the extinction event itself.
Let's turn the tbles. Why would a christian care to save a species? This place was created for us, was it not? We were granted dominion were we not? We rely on nothing but god for our survival do we not? God could create more animals on a whim could he not? Hasn't god drowned every living thing (save two) on earth at least once? The animals are a part of his great plan, yes? Can we throw a monkeywrench in the plans of a god? Etc..etc..etc.
There's a really easy practical answer though. Biological diversity is useful, to us.
