Again for my fellow Americans into organic (i.e. not domestic or synthetic) conservation.

The planet's wildlife is increasingly living under the boot of humankind, a new study claims.
Senior author James Watson, of WCS and the University of Queensland, explained: “Given the growing human influence on the planet, time and space are running out for biodiversity, and we need to prioritize actions against these intense human pressures. Using cumulative human pressure data, we can identify areas that are at higher risk and where conservation action is immediately needed to ensure wildlife has enough range to persist. ”
Braverman became embroiled in controversy early last year over her declaration that: “As Conservatives, we are engaged in a battle against cultural Marxism.”
Shouldn't take for granted that which is organic, i.e., not domestic nor synthetic.
Don't sleep on Mother Nature.

A dead shark was found hanging outside of a Florida high school on Thursday in what one student claimed was a prank.
In a separate incident in New York last year, a man was convicted for keeping sharks confined in an above-ground pool inside his home. An officer found found five live sharks in a circular tank in his truck and the man admitted to transporting the sharks to his home, where he said he kept several others.
The importance of the organic (i.e. not domestic or synthetic).

The modern conservation movement came about in the late 1800s after people realized that their own activities could not only reduce the number of animals they lived beside but could drive entire species to extinction. That realization birthed a global movement to protect all species, whether they were useful to humans or not.
That’s what conservation meant at the beginning. As the movement was informed by ecology, it’s come to mean not only protecting individual species but protecting the relationships among them and their habitats — and the relationship between humans and other species.
Conservation is still perceived by many as a movement to save individual charismatic species. We saved the bald eagle or we saved a species of rhino from extinction. Those are terrific victories. But I think that perception is a bit misleading. It doesn’t include the real work of conservation — which is to preserve species in abundance, and in relationship with other species.
