Thank you.
The latter point I would agree with. The consequence is one of ineffectiveness and certainly inefficiencies when those kinds of contacts and relationships aren't built.
I would say that ultimately our point remains, regardless of the government of the day, that healthy nature, healthy habitats, healthy species must become a priority regardless of the particular day of the year or year of the millennium we are at. Otherwise, unfortunately, we are doomed to repeat our mistakes, and the list will only get longer.
