“How is this for a new conservation mantra? Eat the panda. Let the tiger die out. And let’s admit that species such as the condor have had their day and let them quietly fade away instead of spending limited conservation resources trying to keep them alive. That is heresy to traditional conservationists but it is a view being propounded by activists calling for a radical rethink of priorities, especially as climate change threatens to accelerate the number of extinctions in the next few decades.” (The Australian)
