Hero Worshiping While Wildlife Declines

    Every media interest and nonprofit entity knows that heroes and celebrities are a sure way to get attention and make money.
     And so they like to turn mere mortals into heroes, and make of human beings more than what they are actually. It would not matter if it worked to the benefit of wildlife and conservation, but it does not. Instead, the created heroes earn fame and fortune, as do the organizations bearing their names or that they represent, while the wildlife and specific species or animals they are supposed to  protect continue to suffer and decline.
      To the organization bearing the name of one particular human being made into a saint, the very species she and her organization have made fortunes from has decline by over 90 percent in the wild. The more the remaining population of the species and similar species are hunted, eaten, wiped out by the loss of their habitat, the more people send the organization money.
       In the world of wildlife and animal welfare, even when animals lose, there are organizations and individuals making out like bandits.
