Who Needs A Title Anyways

I am a 911 operator. People call in ridiculous things all the time. I'm not talking about someone calling to report that they're home alone and they think someone is in their attic, only for us to discover that there are squirrels in the roof -- we actually get that sort of call somewhat often and it's ALWAYS worth a check, so never feel bad about calling for something that ends up not being an emergency! No, I'm talking about someone calling 911 because Ulta won't give them a refund on used cosmetics or some bullshit like that. That kind of call is annoying, but it is what it is.

But the wildlife calls...

"There's a deer in my yard! Is it injured? Well, no, ma'am, but that's not the problem. Can't you get someone out here to remove it?" No.

Or "I'm the president of the HOA here and one of the homeowners is letting all these weeds grow instead of mowing their lawn. Maybe you could send an officer over here to give them a chat?" No.

Or "There's a fox in my neighborhood! No, no, it's acting normal and I only see it in the evening...but ma'am, this is a gated neighborhood, and it's a nuisance!" No.

From the article:

“If you look only at the trend of species declines, it would be easy to think that we’re failing to protect biodiversity, but you would not be looking at the full picture,” said Penny Langhammer, lead author of the study and Executive Vice President of Re:wild. “What we show with this paper is that conservation is, in fact, working to halt and reverse biodiversity loss. It is clear that conservation must be prioritized and receive significant additional resources and political support globally, while we simultaneously address the systemic drivers of biodiversity loss, such as unsustainable consumption and production.”

This massive meta analysis (for those not familiar, a study analyzing the results of many studies on similar topics) found that the vast majority of conservation efforts show much much better results than doing nothing. In many cases, biodiversity loss was not only stopped but reversed.
