> Nature has value because we exist.

Agreed. Nature without humans has no value. Nature has value because humans value it.

And at the same time humans are a part of nature. When the first humans built a hut out of wood and leaves that isn't different than a beaver building a dam.

The idea that the only "true nature" is that which has not seen human activities makes no sense. Same with the logic that "we can only heal nature by removing humans".
