Off the top of my head, I see that since you wrote "important" species, you sort of answered it; or at least suggested an answer.

Also, the definition of "extraordinary efforts" is very elastic. So the topic will be hard to discuss concretely.

When I read the figure of how many species are disappearing, it makes me feel a sort of horror. So that is my prejudice.

But when you talk about a specific repercussion that a specific decision would have, it gets hard again.

I think the question would probably elicit more information by asking less. You could ask "How bad do you feel about species disappearing?"

And then ask follow up questions about priorities, values, specific examples, that sort of thing.

It seems to me.
