I know not very much more than nothing about this issue, but what I do know is enough for anger and frustration. Unquestionably, it seems to me, a big part of the problem is the Western--maybe the better term here, though, is "Northern"?--conservationists' preconceptions about the nature of the nature they're trying to preserve. The common idea is that these places are "natural" and "untouched" when they may very well be some of the most intensely human-manipulated places on earth. If that were widely known and accepted, the conversation would be very different. But instead it's playing out in the same old inequitable ways. Blech.
