I think that the public should be faced with these problems and don't need to be protected from them. If they have to deal with them head on I think that solutions would be more commonly thought of.

a ground zero perhaps?

Perhaps this is because less people were documenting the process and instead were orally teaching others how to farm as well.

I find it preposterous that farmers would as that wild birds are kept to human made boundaries, but i find it even worst that the FWS tried to do so. Farmers often times work with animals so it is surprising to me that they would ask this.

Miscommunications and just the lack of communications can often times lead to failure.

Environmental racism has continually damned those who aren't the majority.

I would partly agree with this. If humans were never around then there could be a world without us, but if humans existed as we do today then it would cause many disruptions. If we were to just up and leave, everything that depends on us would die or fail. Any domesticated animals would go hungry, farmlands would erode faster than they already are, infrastructure would breakdown and release chemicals and become hazardous habitats for the wild. We have influenced nature in too great of a way to just up and leave now.

Some things cannot be quantified, making them very difficult to study and nature happens to be one of these things.

I know that it is hard for me to keep my personal values separate from what I learn and read.

I find this increasingly true as time goes on. There is little, if any, nature that hasn't been invaded by humankind.
