Bit of a straw man. The ecologists I know of are interested in cultivating biodiversity and preserving habitats from the corrosive influence of development, pollution, and climate change. "Pristine" isn't a term I've heard used much in this context. The language of "virgin" land belongs to the lexicon of settler colonialism, not environmentalism.
