Let's see if we can go in another direction. You have stated that conservation is overstepping its bounds. What, in your view are the "bounds" that conservation should stay inside? What actions should be taken in the name of conservation, and what actions are "out of bounds?"
This thread was started with some examples.

However, I will give you another example which I consider over stepping bounds. The EPA wants dairy farmers to build containment ponds around their
storage facilities in case there is a spill. Since when is milk so dangerous that it requires a containment pond like an oil well? Many dairy farmers are
still small operations. The expense of building containment ponds just might put them out of business. And is it necessary? This country seems to be
getting along quite well with out containment ponds for dairy farms so far. The story about this issue was printed in the Tennessean newspaper about
a week ago. Maybe you think milk is dangerous but in my HUMBLE opinion I don't. If this is forced upon dairy farmers the price of milk will go up because
there will likely be farmers going out of business and/or they will have to pass on the expense to everyone. Either way this is not a pro business
idea IMHO. This country is falling apart due to such regulations. When will it end? Soon I hope.

Here's another issue that involves conservation organizations over stepping their bounds:
