"little justification" = not very much justification = no (or very few) reasons

Governments and citizens have very few sensible reasons to spend a lot of money and lose job opportunities to save a species from extinction.

Saving a species from extinction is not worth spending a lot of money or sacrificing a lot of jobs..
