You are preaching to the converted here. The problem is that conservation needs money, and that money has to come from somewhere. My local Wildlife Trust raises quite a lot by concentrating on beavers and rewilding projects, giving its existing high biodiversity sites a very low priority. I understand why they do it but they have this bland assumption that they can maintain that business model of introducing a new headline species every five years into the future.
