Default The Fake Conservationists

Until climate change was acknowledged as a threat to all species on
the planet conservation charities had it all their own way.

Their "conservation " credentials gave the impression they were
saviours of the planet and were never questioned.

Not any more!

Such charities have deftly transformed conservation into a theme-park
culture of aesthetically pleasing woodlands, nature reserves which are
marketed as visitor attractions, visitor centres, viewing platforms,
countryside fairs, market stalls, car parks, etc, indistinguishable
from, and now part of, one of the most environmentally damaging
industries of all time - the tourist industry

The Fake Conservationists


Conservationists' activities, and the activities they encourage in
others, contribute substantially to climate change, so it is a
travesty for them to describe themselves as "conservationists" when
they are consuming finite resources for their own limited and revenue
generating agendas.

Climate change threatens all species on the planet.

The conservation industry is part of the problem - not the solution.
