It's a phrasal verb: "to pit against". As Christopher explained, it is used when two sides are made to fight against each other. (Note the use of the word "champion" in the sentence as well.)
wildlife protection environmentalists = side A
renewable energy environmentalists = side B
the killing of birds = the cause

It means they are fighting each other like two cocks in a pit.

Is a pity.
It does not matter here the meaning of words.
