I think there are also opportunities to be creative and to think about what we are actually trying to accomplish as an end game. Are there many different tools that we can bring to bear that'll provide some level of protection, recognizing that the longevity of some of those protections might not be as long as we'd like but they provide steps along the road to ultimately attaining conservation on the landscape? For example, we often sign 25-year agreements with private landowners to do conservation work on their lands. It provides a short-term protection, but it's part of the change in the conservation of a landscape. It doesn't help us with our overarching targets, but there are many tools like this that get us down the road towards conservation.
