Sigh. You would think they would have learned that any time humans get in the position of trying to protect something, they are just as likely to make it worse than improve it.
I recognize there are times and places for government involvement, but I have alway felt the lightest touches were the best...if at all.
Most of the time, it is a heavy handed bureaucratic cudgel that is full of things that don’t drive the desired effect and worse, are infested with unforeseen circumstances and results.
It happens so often that you wonder how someone would have the courage to pull the trigger on an environmental management scheme when all those failed and stupid ones from the past stare them in the face.
But pull they trigger they do. Every time, like clockwork. “It will work this time...”
A person, no matter what he/she is changing, should always have in the back of their mind- "Is today's solution, tomorrow's problem?"
