That seems hard to argue with. It's difficult to imagine that people
involved in habitat and wildlife care and restoration don't care a lot. If
I understood Prof. Flannery's point, the problem is organizational, not
individual. If I remember correctly, he made much the same point nearly
twenty years ago in The Future Eaters. As I remember it, the way he
approached it there was that the system of reserves and parks in Australia
wasn't rational, consistent or aimed at any particular outcome. In the clip
that kicked off these threads, his point that no one is accountable
_structurally_ seemed like a reasonably common-sense perspective.
