Alienation of people from wildlife and land management in order to "protect Nature" has to be one of the most destructive urban myths in history. It is an idea destined to imprison the people from lands no longer capable of supporting them, and at the mercy of a corporate fascist umbilical system that threatens their existence, never mind their freedom. Worse, it deprives the land of the people who know how to care for it.
Believe it or not, but my recent translation work in Genesis 4 indicates that this is precisely the original teaching of the Cain and Abel parable. Instead of a murder story, Abel as a people is "killed" one at a time, more likely by assimilation than by violence. The result is that the land around Cain's farm goes bad, and takes Cain soil down with it. Once that soil loses viability, Cain as agro-urban Settler (which is what his name means) can no longer stay, a fugitive and a wanderer he shall be. Compared to the nomad, it is the farmer who is ephemeral. It's taken me over a year to untangle it, but the findings have been fascinating, and might even have been prompted by the beginnings of desertification of the Near East some 6-8,000 years ago.
