Changelings are protective by nature, and predatory changelings take it to another level. [Dominant predatory changelings can sometimes be downright insufferable.] The process had to be formalized to prevent another war.
The value to protecting other species is that, again, they're protective by nature. While predatory changelings have no compunctions hunting down a wild deer, the human side has no desire to go after a Changeling Deer.
Even if they aren't altruistic, changelings can only keep the land they can protect, and that includes ensuring safety of those lands to everyone in it.
