"We've tried reintroducing them to the wild seven or eight times, but every time they die within a couple of years; if you don't get rid of the fungus, all you're doing is providing it with lunch."
That is the bottom line. And who introduced the fungus amoung us?

If and when it is shown that a particular pathogen has switched hosts, yes; but as a precautionary project to eliminate a whole strain when the prospects for success can't even be assessed, it makes for foolish policy. I wasn't proposing eradication- simply that the problems needs to be studied and addressed to some degree. A better understanding of how the world works isn't a bad thing to me. Its not so much about protecting said species but learning the reason for the decline and understanding the implications of such problems.
