Added a bit to the previous post.
And yes I think nature is intrinsically valuable. Any intrinsic value mankind itself has derives from this. Non-intrinsic value is fleeting and changes according to the situation. What was subjectively valuable in the 1880s or the 1970s will not be valuable to the human race in 2030.

The fact is we are evolved to be adapted to a particular situation. If it changes too much we die.
Can't put it much plainer than that.
