Can you tell me about some historical environmental movements? Or any civilizations that valued protection of nature?

Japanese Shinto often deifies natural points of beauty, and in general values nature.

Norse pagans and pagans in general weren't environmentalists. That's a noble savage meme.
Nazis were treehuggers. Ever heard "blood and soil"?

It's almost like industrial magnates and politicians aren't shinto practitioners.

I wish people would get that.
Nature is not such a big thing in any Pagan religion. Greek and Babylonian religions for example thought nature was chaotic and needed to be tamed.
Pagans = treehuggers is a 20th century invention.

Environmentalism requires an understanding of the environment, so no. And no, there was no spiritual intuition that lead a culture to this ideal.
