When people look at conservation the Paul Watson in them comes out and they all remember Bambie's mother that was shot, but some how they miss the fact that habitat is the most expensive commodity on earth and once lost it can never be replaced again.
So many thousands of hectares are over run by exotic Trees and Sugar Cane Farms when Natural Habitation is removed to make space for the Worlds Sugar Addiction. Only when you understand the addiction to normal refined sugar can you comprehend the following. With out the insight to understand that humans are physically addicted to normal pure white/brown Sugar will the next paragraph make any sense at all.
To sustain Conservation open un used land has to make economic sense. Humans are carbon based protein fueled biological machines.
Other words humans has to kill to eat and refuel energy. Without meat humans suffer restricted brain development a decrease in the immune system and tendency to get ill easier.
How mass media has been manipulated by various forces mainly for self indulgence is scary. Paul Watson is the most famous soothsayer in Human history when it comes to feeding of empathy. His famous Words is "Due to the Nature off Mass Media the Truth is irrelevant is an absolute fact. No single person knows who is Dolphin Nan, yet she has stopped Whaling in the Southern Indian Ocean with much less resources than Paul Watson.
Any way the point is The American's has protected their endangered species by turning them into house hold pets. This increase the Genetic Diversity and spreading it all around the World. In an over populated country where famine is rive People still can't phantom the problem and wrapped their heads around Rhino Farming. Yet a Rhino does not need to sacrifice it's live to produce a very lucrative product more valuable per kilogram than Gold. With this in mind our Rhino Population is increasing annually way beyond the available Habitat even under current poaching deaths.
Once Rhino has a value as a commodity will their existence on Earth be secured. Unfortunately we spend millions of tons and Carbon producing Tree consuming education system that teaches humans to be Capitalist and with out the financial value Nature does not fit into this power hungry monetary controlled society.

In 2000 The Greater St Lucia Wetlands Park entered a prolonged drought cycle and the Authorities mechanically closed the mouth to trap valuable fresh water in the system to keep salinity stable and protect the Hippo and Crocodiles against hyper saline conditions.
This lead to the drying up of the upper regions of the Lake and Thousands of Marine species perished. For years the decaying smell of marine life hung over False Bay, Fanies Island and Charters Creek.
In 2007 a storm surge created by tropical storm Gumede opened The Estuary Mouth briefly and ocean water did not significantly raise the water levels in the upper regions of the Lake. The storms surge was so high that it almost devastated Durban's Golden Mile beach front and the damages done on the South Coast has not been repaired yet.
At the end of the 175 days of healthy functioning the Authorities closed the St Lucia Estuary Mouth once again entrap breading stock inside the Estuary for another five years. This management decision lead to the total collapse of the prawn population on the Tugela shelve.
With no tidal movement in the Estuary the Mangrove Swamps has been water locked and are now infiltrated with fresh water specie vegetation like Acacia Species. Fresh water reeds and low energy flow has made this once pristine Estuary into a hunting ground for poachers fishing with gill nets harvesting the remainder of the breeding stocks from the system.
Once again the Recreational Angler Fishing for Fun and Fresh fish has to take the brunt of poor management decisions. Local Anglers are all agreeing to the fact that specie breeding habits has been altered and declining populations in the oceans of these species is trapped inside a man made fresh water pond.
This threatens a Sport with proven massive income potential World Wide and impacts on many thousands of Families which substitutes its protein source from recreational catches.
With current implementation of park rule 06/2011 that prohibits Recreational anglers only from bottom fishing one can make the deduction that manipulation of The Estuary Mouth is blatantly to invoke the demise of this World Recognized Out Door Sport and impacting on a valuable Job creation and subsistence fishing.
