Dead Forest/Dead Parks/Dead Seas, More Conservation Failures

Travel the world. Go to those places where there was once, and sometimes still is, the greatest biodiversity. It can be found in tropical third world countries. Travel outside of a showcase forest, park or sanctuary for a species that one so called conservation group or another may promote in their bid to get donor money, all the while pretending to be the broad based answer to a conservation and wildlife problem. Hike one of the many dead forest zones. Or swim in one of the allegedly protected dead marine sanctuaries. There you will see dead and dying coral and few fish. In the forests, barely an animal stirs. Small birds may flutter about, the few that have escaped the widespread destruction to habitat, the illegal logging, the trapping, hunting of wildlife. The parrots do not fare so well, having endured endless live capture that often results in their death. But these organizations will not tell you about this. They will endlessly advertise their sanctuary, their showcase forest or showcase species that they have allegedly protected, or the other wonderful things they are allegedly accomplishing. You will not hear about their failures, which are many and not inconsequential. They might claim to be international or broad based in their efforts, but they are anything but. While there is still a little of nature left, it is the last chance to get serious about wildlife and conservation. It should not be left in the hands of self serving, cherry picking conservation/wildlife organizations that have failed miserably. (Name the species....Chimpanzees,other primates, bats, birds, turtles,large fish and predatory fish, marine mammals, and more,- many are less than a fraction of what they once numbered in the wild) There is now the widespread and enormous decline of most wildlife.Most large predatory fish are already gone. Most large land based mammals are gone. Hike these dead forests, and swim in these dead seas and you may hear local people concerned with conservation say....If only there was money or had been money to hire people that can properly protect the lands and seas. So often the lack of money means forests, seas and species die. No money available to protect, yet many of the conservation/wildlife protection/animal welfare humane type organizations are flush with money. Plain and simply put, there has been an enormous failure to protect wildlife and nature, with few and rare exceptions. Let these organizations keep their showcase projects or do whatever it is they allegedly do. But let them be marginal while true conservation and wildlife protection is taken from their ineffective, self serving hands. Conservation and wildlife protection needs to move fully into the hands of non corrupt governments with high levels of efficacy. A threat like ISIS is responded to by governments, not private, self serving entities. The destruction of wildlife and habitat, long term, is a far greater threat than any demented group of humans like ISIS can offer( unless the demented humans possess nuclear weapons).
