opinion contributors, Stephen Capra and Connie potent, right

2
00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:10.240
quote. If we are to preserve wildlife and find

3
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.310
true coexistence, it's urgent to begin a much more

4
00:00:13.310 --> 00:00:17.699
serious process of managing the human population, not wildlife

5
00:00:17.710 --> 00:00:20.850
. This means closing large areas to roads, creating

6
00:00:20.850 --> 00:00:24.780
more wilderness and protecting large tracts of ocean from commercial

7
00:00:24.780 --> 00:00:27.940
fishing. Capra and potent continue quote. It does

8
00:00:27.940 --> 00:00:31.210
not mean ending hunting that will not happen. But

9
00:00:31.210 --> 00:00:36.530
coyote killing contests running down wolves with snowmobiles, indiscriminate

10
00:00:36.530 --> 00:00:40.810
trapping and snaring all must go California has led a

11
00:00:40.810 --> 00:00:44.479
renaissance, trapping is outlawed and species are no longer

12
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:48.859
managed strictly for consumptive use. Instead, California now

13
00:00:48.859 --> 00:00:53.920
manages holistically for the ecosystem and all species, including

14
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.829
humans. This is coming to other Western states,

15
00:00:56.929 --> 00:01:00.109
it has to Capra and potent add quote. It

16
00:01:00.109 --> 00:01:03.880
comes down to values to respect wildlife. The world

17
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.650
over is essential for all life. Wild animals feed

18
00:01:07.829 --> 00:01:08.939
, teach and inspire us.
