[QUOTE="entomology, post: 23976, member: 517"] Ok finally someone who speaks my language and in my field of work I do everyday!!! Whoop whoop!! Ok one of the main concerns nature conservation have to deal with on a daily basis is the following: Invasive species Alien species becoming apex predators All illegal smuggling into the country Tropical diseases being the biggest concern. Conservation need a "firm" grip on population dynamics in terms of what is in each province to prevent allot of issues escalating. red eared terrapins must be euthanized because people think they cute when small, but when the animal grows to big for it's tank they just release in the closest dam or river and this becomes a competitor and invasive species. That is just an example as to what is happening. I am faced each day with danger and all conservation in the field now focused on Rhinos as we are going to lose them to extinction within the next 3 to 4 years. if it were not for conservation and it's Fundamental laws what do you think would happen?? Ppl smuggle in critically endangered species under cites etc and when u push nature conservation too far , you will feel their wrath!!!!!! This was a long time coming as people cannot just do as they please as someone needs to look out for the species in questions well being. [/QUOTE]
