So, my tactic with conservation of apex predators is to get people excited and take them to where they live.
Extinction is the rule. Survival is the exception.
The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is a unique and biologically special place that should be preserved.
True refuge is that which allows us to be at home, at peace, to discover true happiness. The only thing that can give us true refuge is the awareness and love that is intrinsic to who we are. Ultimately, it's our own true nature.
Because there is something helpless and weak and innocent - something like an infant - deep inside us all that really suffers in ways we would never permit an insect to suffer.
Conservation of energy also protects our environment.
Natural selection certainly operates. It explains how bacteria will gain antibiotic resistance; it will explain how insects get insecticide resistance, but it doesn't explain how you get bacteria or insects in the first place.
When it comes to wilderness animals we have to make an effort to preserve what areas we can that they can be themselves in. Its come to a point though, clearly, where some species have to be cared for by humans if they are not going to disappear altogether.
You always have to evolve - the minute you start building a moat around you to keep yourself safe, you're going to lose.
