Conservation is deeply rooted in how life is perceived. Even in the face of facts some chose not to except them as truths. It may not be enough to simply present facts to others. In this day and age where emotions and intent seem to be more important it may be in how facts are presented that has the ability to sway public opinion.

Thanks for the concern and effort...real nice stuff on your web site as well.
Not sure you can rely on truth or facts in any form to "sway public opinion". Americans are bombarded hourly with falsehoods from government, advertising, and media. Truth is reformed so often, it has become indistinguishable from everything else. Even the Tuluver video is a curve ball.
The desire to conserve requires the observance of loss. People who most appreciate the need for conservation are those who have lived many years with their eyes open. Those are the people who realize the path we are on because they alone have seen the disintegration, and notice what has been lost. Everyone else has no context, no way of fully understanding the issue. There are also the struggling millions who are to busy to notice or to preoccupied to care.
Your valued message needs playing in the mainstream. I think most people who visit this site (excluding the gear heads) have reverence for nature, respect for the planet, and live their lives accordingly.
