> The only way for people to live in perfect harmony with nature would be to abandon all economical growth
This is a sweeping generalization. We don't need to abandon all economic growth to have effective conservation of diversity and stop deforestation. The economy and its growth is not chained to the activity of real estate developers.

It will be hard to grow an economy when there is a housing crisis which we make worse by not harvesting trees and not wanting to use oil based products. We cannot achieve balance with nature while having huge cities. Only people that work the land and live off of it understand what harmony with nature is.
aren't there already enough houses for everybody? people are just hoarding them.
The only way for people to live in perfect harmony with nature would be to abandon all economical growth and that's unlikely to happen. The easiest thing to do is to preserve and reduce our influence.
