The concept of "management" in the National Parks is to let nature take its course. I kind of like that concept.

The concept of "management" in the National Parks is to let nature take its course. I kind of like that concept. It's a nice concept (and is certainly popular), but it doesn't work. People do love to enjoy things for which they feel no accountability, however, you need to learn more about the reality of their condition and history before you conclude that laissez faire is a rational plan. Nature needs care and maintenance, especially when the boundary conditions have changed.
I've been doing habitat managent and restoration for over fourteen years. It's both expensive and physically and intellectually demanding work. A healthy habitat doesn't come for free.
