Theological note: The bill concerns faithful stewardship of God's creation, which Scripture assigns to humanity to tend and keep (Genesis 1:28; 2:15). Protecting habitats from ecological disruption fits that calling. Its relevance is administrative and prudential: it establishes a conservation program and reporting duty, without addressing a named moral wrong.
