Protection prevents damage, so protection will be unable to prevent damage while Sunspine Lynx is on the battlefield. However, this won’t allow spells or abilities to target permanents they wouldn’t ordinarily be able to target because of protection, even if that spell or ability would deal damage to those permanents.
