As for species, well, if they don't really serve a nessecary purpose for all of humanity then its up to the individual to protect them in my opinion. If you feel that strongly about it I think you should do something about it yourself instead of asking the government to use my tax dollars for it.

The same could be said of any government program, not just environmental protection.
Anyway, perhaps it is we who are driving ourselves to extinction . The destruction of one species, even one which has little direct importance to humanity, impacts ecosystems as a whole and may have unforeseen and undesireable consequences for humanity.
Wantonly destoying nature amounts to playing God, in my opinion.
