Agreed, but 1980 was the beginning of the Reagan-Bush era and massive environmental deregulation, which only got worse through Clinton and George W. Bush.
The great conservative movement killed conservation.

Your phrasing seems to indicate that you’re refuting my point when it strengthens it? Yeah if we had followed the Republican bare minimum instead of letting the bottom drop out it’d already be significantly less of an issue.
