Not only does God have great love for His Creation, but Creation has a great love of God. Most claims that Christianity is incompatible with ecology stems from lay theology and the enlightenment's abuse of the literary nature-man dichotomy (which is mistaken as Christian). In reality there is no barrier between man and the rest of Creation, the only difference between the two is that our predecessors' free will cause Creation to be overwhelmed by sin and death. The "stewardship" mentality that is seen as extremely anthropocentric (because it is mistaken as conservation), comes from lay people. We have an obligation to steward because Creation does not belong to us. Nature does not exist beyond a literary device, it is all really one big Creation of which we are a part of.
