Protecting the Environment

Bereishit 2:15

And God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden, to work it and to guard it.

בראשית ב:טו
וַיִּקַּח ה' אֱלֹקִים אֶת הָאָדָם וַיַּנִּחֵהוּ בְגַן עֵדֶן לְעָבְדָהּ וּלְשָׁמְרָהּ
Bereishit Rabbah 10:7

Even those things that you may hold superfluous in the world, such as fleas, gnats, and flies, even they are part of the creation of the world.

בראשית רבה פרשה י סימן ז
אֲפִילוּ דְּבָרִים שֶׁאַתָּה רוֹאֶה אוֹתָן שֶׁהֵן יְתֵירָה בָּעוֹלָם כְּגוֹן זְבוּבִין וּפַרְעוֹשִׁין וְיַתּוּשִׁין אַף הֵן בִּכְלָל בְּרִיָּתוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם הֵן
