Probably will. I have been studying the plants in my area, (I live in a swamp) and most have been used for medicinal purposes and some have been developed by big pharma.

The big task is educating people so that they understand why biodiversity is important. I think everyone can agree that mass plantings of boxwood, butterfly bush and lirope is boring boring boring and seems to be the plants of choice for subdivisions!

Seriously though, it will be a challenge to protect that site.

Why should it be protected? Can't the plants be grown elsewhere? Cannot seed be saved?

Every time we find a pretty little plant or bug, should we rope off the area?

That's ridiculous and you know it. These "new" plants probably grow everywhere. You need to ask if there isn't a hidden agenda behind this, from the human hating element that unfortunately lives on this planet.
