Even if Lucas manages to make the portal go both ways, his backers can't just start strip-mining prehistoric Earth while Terra Nova is still around. It's easy to see Taylor declaring Terra Nova a sovereign nation and raising an army to fend off invaders coming through the portals.

Alternatively there's a fringe group that believes this is what's happening (even though it's not) since no one ever comes back from Terra Nova. They intend to destroy the portal which they think is simply a tool of mass genocide.

They'll claim it's to put the prisoners in a more secure facility on Terra Nova and to give the poor and degenerate a chance to reform and have better lives.
