    Hi Andrew-Due to the current state of events in the US, my wildlife conservationist-side has ramped up a bit.I watched your Tedx several times and have some feedback for you to consider.Key talking points:->Universal Responsibility: Humans to Other forms of life->You are passionate about Wildlife Conservation->Root cause of Species loss is human population pressure->Population Pressure: negative effects on resources and Species loss ->Wildlife "GONE": not normal to not have Wildlife running around in our Country->What can we do? 1)empathy 2)fewer children 3) education in developing countries 4)donationOur objective in Wildlife Conservation is to take action in 1) protecting animals and their habitat and 2) encouraging or educating others to do the same. While I appreciate your message and passion, I question the approach and key points. You opened with a great quote, and spoke about your experiences, but your key objective was lost in the introduction. The root cause of Species loss is clear. But why is it so important to conserve wildlife and prevent species loss? Your focus was Population pressure heavy, and that topic is a whole new mountain. To gain support of communities and develop an audience that is not immediate in adopting wildlife conservation beliefs and practices, is challenging. We need to provide the "WHY"s. Why should they care? Why should they take action? Your ideas and solutions are great, but are they measurable, implementable, or consistent? Can more than 1 of these solutions resonate with a new-to-conservation audience? There has to be more to it. Education in developing countries also impacts economic growth, win-win. But why can't we scale the education solution across all communities? I would like to become more involved in Wildlife Conservation, but I want to solve for two factors 1) Compelling "why"s that have a broad target reach and 2) Compelling solutions that are feasible to said audience.Overall, we need more people out there, speaking to this critical topic. Thank you!

      We should care...we meat entered eat meat so I do not want cows and chickens to go extinct. If we wouldn't have focused so much on 1 species as a food source either though or one as a coat we should of had more variety in our diet and more style back in the 1800 then maybe we could of evened out wildlife population

      100 % agree, especially in India, the country which is so overpopuled.

      @@АлександрМедведев-ц9ъ I actually learned about the Indian population crisis in India and the One Child Policy may be very controversial over in India because, women do not have to the choice to stop having children. We learned about a woman who had a girl and a boy and the doctors told her if you have another you’re going to die in childbirth. Well, she was not
      allowed the choice as to if she would have another. In India they want 2 sons because daughters get married off and sons stay with the family, they was 2 so that if one dies they have another. Women also are punished for deciding not to have children in ways like being lit on fire so, in India it’s a really complicated subject.

      I don’t think so. China had that policy once. People were force to have abortion if people knew they had a child already and is going to have another one. That’s already stripping away people’s freedom.
      A. People always finds loopholes. People in China including my grandma gave birth to more than one children under the radar by living in the countryside.
      B. If the Chinese government was already real strict and people can still get away with it, how is the African government gonna keep the policy up without the whole frickin population get away?

    Yepp. I was just thinking about it with my fav river (with unique, nearly irreplaceable fauna and features), in a state where our springs / water resources are our greatest natural asset- Florida. The water districts mean well, but don't want to budget pumping. Right, nobody wants to admit the uncomfortable only solution to the tragedy of the commons is to see the world as limited instead of one abounding almost inexhaustible resources (or at least one to exploit and "if it runs out/ gets overly trashed, oh well"). Because those that rise to exploit are the ones to rise to power, it is a systemic issue. Nowhere is safe, since even relatively uninhabited places can become inhabited and exploited after other places are.
    And the worshipping of currency over natural habitats/ phenomena- that have Much more depth and lessons that whatever can be bought on the market, not to mention much more intrinsic and Literal value. It's worthy of being sad, mad, everything and anything and feels as if there's next to nothing to do about it. But I know numbing and self pity isn't the answer, for some reason. Maybe I've had enough voids and losses in other parts of life, I've just about had it.
    If you want to get closer to saving the planet, going vegan helps... but going "organic", driving an electric car, recycling-- isn't gonna cut it. Having less or no kids helps way more. But always everywhere somebody is gonna have loads of kids lol. Just saying, I'm pretty sure nowadays is the good ol days compared to the coming decades, so enjoy it, keep strength and resilience if you want to keep going until the passing of old age-- if at all possible nowadays for anyone relatively young xD
