And for this you fuck up an irreplaceable natural heritage which is there for the whole world. It shows that the value such people place on the natural world is zero or less. Maybe they hate it because they don’t understand why normal people love it. Maybe it’s just that they will feel richer when they have made us all poorer.

Trust, I am well aware. Part of a conservation degree is economics, because conservation directly has to argue in economic terms in order to persuade governments and stakeholders for support of passing legislation.
Unfortunately, the powers that be seem to have stopped caring entirely, even if only performatively. They want it all and they don’t wish to negotiate anymore.
