Not so much sad as predictable
Individuals will act as they see fit
It sometimes helps to assist them in
making their decisions by showing them
the personal consequences of their actions

Conservation is a Conservative issue

[Eric in the Ozarks]

And we need to take it back and explain change is a natural event.
Much of our deforestation has occurred naturally. We are losing our oaks here in the mid-Missouri Ozarks because the oaks took over when other trees were removed or died out. Too many oaks accelerated oak borer populations and this has kicked off a big increase in woodpeckers and bluebirds, etc.
Nobody 'did' this.
