RE: Chile has officially created 5 new national parks and expanded three previous ones in a move that protects over 10 million acres of land!
Chile has highest per capacita income in latin america and the govt are doing great job for the people and conservation of biologist with the collaboration of Doug Tompkins and Kristine McDivitt Tompkins.
My professes always used to say that the most useful skill for a conservation biologist is the ability to negotiate and get people to agree, which is not far from the truth at all

Yes it is a great skill to negotiate people and get them agree to your goal. The process become much easier if you have good economy, high per capacita income and quality life of people.
Developing national park of 10 million acre and 25 years of hardwork by the govt efforts are laudable. Other countries should also follow the chilean govt in this regard. In this way we conserve a lot of species.
Yeah, absolutely! I would imagine that it is extremely difficult to get people to stop using an area for food gathering or farming if they did rely on that food in order to survive.
Just imagine how many species and ecosystems that would be protected if every country tried as much as Chile did! The world would certainly be a better place for most animals :)
Yes it is a great idea, but I am afraid to say all countries don't adopt it due to dense human population, food for human etc. Although I am in favor of developing places for wild life to balance eco
Yeah, it's a very unrealistic dream ;)
