Why no S&N

Some environmentalists question the prudence of exploiting features of the environment, arguing that there are no economic benefits to be gained from forests, mountains, or wetlands that no longer exist. Why couldn't you say that "there are no economic benefits to be gained from forests, mountains, or wetlands that no longer exist" this is a S&N statement. EB --> ~GFFMW I mean it doesn't help once you symbolize anything else but I want to know the reason it cannot be a S&N statement.

@Kanye Sentences generally can be diagrammed out, but in cases like this, it may make it more confusing, rather than less. If you're not looking for S&N properties, then diagramming the sentence may make you start looking for things that aren't part of the answer you're seeking. If you were to diagram this, it would be a some statement. What makes more sense here is looking at what they're arguing, that there is an intrinsic noneconomic value.
