I believe the decision by the WTO today is a death blow for sea turtles. |
It's a balancing act between being a gadfly and building collaborative relationships. |
People hear the happy story, but the truth is they could all disappear in the blink of an eye. The threats just keep coming. |
The area is gentrifying quickly. |
There is major interest in the fish here from all over the Bay Area. But even with all our volunteers, we're still just trying to keep up. |
This area is gentrifying fast. New people are moving in who think they want to live in the forest until they live in the forest. Then they want to cut down all the trees because they can't see the sun. |
Unfortunately, this decision goes far beyond just a death warrant for sea turtles. The precedent this decision creates puts all of our environmental protections that may come into conflict with so-called free trade police at risk. |
We have new folks moving in who don't understand the proper etiquette for being a good neighbor to the fish. People move to the forest and then cut down the trees around their lot so they can have more sunlight. |
