I'm really high right now and I has a philosophical question for you all. Why do we try and save as many species as we possibly can from extinction? Just why do we do it?

Because of an honest belief in Darwinian evolution.

Honestly that was my final conclusion too, just hoarding as many genes as possible in mortality to attempt to preserve them indefinitely, potentially with the goal is using them for something just incase.

Because we are far too dependant on the environment and aren't sure what we can and can't eliminate without cascading effects. Safest course of action is to preserve everything

its an arbitrary goal by people who think that somehow the act of blindly preserving life has some sort of meaning. though most of them do it as a means of virtue signaling

Sadism and misanthropy. Nobody every wants to just save an endangered species, they always want to make other people pay for them to play at trying to save an endangered species, with no consequences for themselves if they fail and lavish praise to go along with the paycheck if hey succeed in doing what they were paid to do.
People like that are very common and predictable

If you can round up enough of them and put them to the task of fundraising you can make a fortune, because the savior, do-gooder, bleeding heart types have no conscience and not much else of brain either. The Nature Conservancies offices are packed to the gills with retarded roasties who get the smug satisfaction of "saving the environment" by guilt tripping donations from rubes and handing the cash over to politicians.

Nobody believes this but hard-core enviros who hold any non-human life as superior and worth saving over human life. It is an act, a facade, a rationalization to mask their own self-hatred and guilt for being human that they cannot admit or face suicide.

The truth is humans are a part of nature and evolution too, something the enviros cannot admit. So the implication is that all living creatures need to adapt to the fact that humans are at the top of the food chain and if any species wants to survive you had better be cute and cuddly, food or irrelevant and non-threatening to humans.
