I'm a little confused about the distinction. It seems to me that whether we all agree that a particular habitat needs to be preserved, and then we preserve it, or whether the government decides the habitat needs to be preserved and does so, either way, if the species is there and that is what is needed to protect it, the goal should be the same.
What I can also say is that we're probably not going to move very quickly unless we bring all the stakeholders together to work. There is evidence that if you don't collaborate and try to work together movement is slow, and we can't afford slow movement on these issues.
