In this case, neither problem is unknown, and the problem of lynx
overpopulation is known to be manageable.

There is also the point that, when facing near-certain disaster,
the very worst decision is to do nothing.

Disaster?????
Methinks we have wound you up a tad too much.
You're not one of 'The End Is Nigh' crowd are you? :-))

Why don't you make an attempt to find out what the scientists say
about this, .......

I presume you have one in particular in mind. Scientists are diverse
in their views. One says this. One says that. How many scientists have
had views on trying to save the Panda?
A scientific view is not right because it is a scientific view.
Scientists come in all shades of opinion, each sufficiently 'learned'
to put forward plausible theories. Differing points of view will widen
the perspective of a problem and discussion - and dissention, will
long continue but only history (not a loud argument) will prove that
one view was closer to the truth than others.

need to learn some population dynamics and genetics, but that will
do you no harm.


Ooooh. 'Ark at him.
