Conservation of wildlife has lost it's efficacy. San Parks are probably underfunded.
Most of the conservation has been privatised.
True. Funding for wildlife conservation, including national parks, are indeed already a problem. After the pandemic most subsidies to private initiatives were abolished. This will even become a bigger issue with fiat over time.
It’s important though to acknowledge the positive impact that both public and private conservation efforts can still have. Conservation strategies are evolving, and new models, like community-led conservation or partnerships with private organizations, are showing promise.
We still believe that local privately funded conservation initiatives can help and can offer innovative solutions, funded with bitcoin. Collaboration with government remains important.
As long as it is illegal to farm rhinos for their horns and to sell the stuff on the open market, poaching will continue until extinction. Rhino horn can be harvested completely benignly (with the administration of a little tranquiliser), just like shearing a sheep.
When rhinos go extinct, it will be entirely the fault of the conservationists who are wittingly or unwittingly supporting the cartels in their highly lucrative illicit dealings.
