We don't always use the earth well but that's no excuse for rushing into things .Esp will paradigms that get us into messes in the first place like
|short term gain - long term pain .
No this is what we need NOT to do -something that is so much part of the real anti- conservation agenda . Recognising the problem is one thing - finding a solution is often a more complex task - but critical to doing it well and getting the esenatil bits of long term change we should be all aiming for .
Before we turn our recognition of a problem into an imperative in someone else 's backyard lets be sure we know something of what pulling one lever will do to all the other component of the ecosystem or learn to trust those who study these things !
