If we were all running in the same circle and helping each other work on these issues, some much-needed change might finally be put into effect.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11237393264153559661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764333055130378388.post-31389289308019949022011-12-24T19:40:55.067-06:002011-12-24T19:40:55.067-06:00There are just so many instances like this, of peo...There are just so many instances like this, of people fighting for what is right, only to hit an unmovable stone. Are they defeated by dogmatism? Selfish agendas? Or perhaps the reluctant human nature? Actually, I think they’re defeated by isolation. All of these guys are fighting their own war. There is little to no connections between their support groups, even though they are in fact fighting the same war. I’m sure the total number of people looking into this matter is quite tremendous, but the problem I see is that the should-be community is scattered and very fragmented, each minding their own business in their small circle. The result of this is, as we have already witnessed, people continually failing because the amount of support is just not enough to have much effect. What we need is a solid community where people could stick together and take care of each other in an organized and efficient way; a community to help ALL those who struggling in a fight to make a difference, instead of focusing on your favorite biologist; a place where people like you can share first-hand information on details of local conflict, and the community as a whole could come up with ideas of effecting changes.<br /><br />We need a forum dedicated to the protection of bears and movement to coexistence. We should all stick together and look at the grand scheme of the matter instead of being self-absorbed in our own business.daniel0731exnoreply@blogger.com
