We need to know four things. What there is,what to do about what there is,that there is a difference between knowing what there is,and knowing what to do about what there is and what that difference is. J Peterson.

Earlier this year there were plans put in place to save a small herd of Selkirk Caribou.

is it though? not to me.
some people see an old growth cedar forest, and hear chainsaws, see neatly stacked lumber lifts waiting for export across the ocean to Japan, and imagine the house and toys they can afford after the numbers accumulate in their bank accounts for their part in it.
others may see it as nearly sacred, an increasingly rare zone of biodiversity, worthy of emptying their bank account to protect with funds amassed from some impact somewhere else.
Some see a big open snowy alpine mountain face as a place to test one's resolve in silence. Others a place to do the same with a 70hp machine, others again the money involved in developing a system to convey as many tourists as possible as easily as possible. Still others see the minerals involved below the surface.
Are any of these values regarding the same physical thing wrong?
"Some recovery program officials cautioned, however, that the primarycause of the decline in the southern Selkirk caribou population is currentlyunknown and it is important not to designate predation as the ultimatereason. For example, these officials noted that marginal habitat may be themajor problem."
it it then goes on to describe the existent impacts of motorized winter recreation. This was written before the exact mechanism of injury regarding winter recreation was fully known.
What people do..is what they believe. Not what they say or think. In that stead it is obvious the beliefs of the collective for the most part.
