Roundup has made habitat destruction very easy. You could never accomplish it politically, but one can make a case that land that is NOT in production should be "protected" so that SOME natural habitat could continue to exist. And really, one could bring that concept all the way into the city, insisting on a perference for construction and landscaping that preserves as much habitat as reasonable.
