So don’t bother trying.
I’m a member of multiple conservation organizations with the main ones I support being Ducks Unlimited and the Audubon Society so I’ve been involved in a lot of habitat preservation and restoration projects over the last 30 years. Things are going very well, not perfectly but very well. There are a lot of people that care and put in money and time and things really are good.
I know that doesn’t fit your agenda but it is true and things are great in a lot of ways for the vast majority or species here in North America and in other places as well.
