Hi guys, do you think conservation matters to you? Let me know if so, and why 🙂

Yes, living in an island where marine animals is the source of life will make us more productive and will have a sustainable ecosystem.

Timestamp 1:15, "...or, at least, not everyone grows up knowing that they're surrounded by wildlife..." That is an insightful point.

Hi there, sorry for the late reply. I'm glad you appreciate what I'm saying, thanks for commenting :)

One small change I'd make to the definition for anyone watching - conservation isn't just about protecting endangered species, but about the common ones too. If you overlook the common ones you risk loosing them, like we did with the Passenger Pigeon.

Hi Alex. Great to see someone making videos breaking down the subject. Personally, I feel if there was a greater understanding of the emergence of conservation legislation, there would be a reduced tendency to use the language of "threat" and "doom". It is not altogether helpful. In Europe, to consider the human impact is a requirement of planning legislation, that is to say, 'land-use'. EIA, or Environmental Impact Assessment is one of a number of existing safeguards available for use. Suggesting human impact is a 'fait-accompli' is dis-engaging and leads to 'positional bargaining' in negotiation. In this respect, I prefer the North America 'Nature Connection' movement. It seeks to engage people in a genuine love for the environment, first.Conservation of the natural and cultural environment matters to us all.

Hi James, thanks for your comment - an interesting point of view! That Nature Connection movement sounds like a good initiative, there are many similar things going on here in the UK. Like those run by Wild Ideas - who I volunteer for! 😀

are there any particular areas within the field of wildlife biology/conservation that you think I should make content about?

Great video! Can't wait for the next one.

Alex Collins keep striving and I’m sure they will 😀

I will pray for you to become best youtuber in your field .

I think you nailed it on the head with people growing up not knowing they're actually surrounded by nature! There is so much out there, including the "common" species and the less charismatic ones, but nonetheless they are so important. Thanks Alex for raising awareness 💚

thanks Shelby! hopefully this makes a small difference

Excellent ethos, well explained. Your reference in the comments here to including "common" species too is key too. As per my comment on FB, do pay careful attention to audio levels & quality in future videos, but may there be many more of them! Keep up the good work Alex. You have a new subscriber! 👍😎👍

Thanks! And will do, I've since purchased a clip-on mic! :)

Thx for helping me out for my English presentation!

Living in Ph is really hard to live as a zero waste person. As an advocate I see in this video that waste generation on land has also large impact to marine biodiversity.

keep working hard I really think your channel can grow really big never give up continue creating content.

Really good video Alex and well explained. Music could be a tad quieter, that’s not a criticism by the way just an observation. Great work and very good presenting, LB Loxley.👍🏼👍🏼

Please analyse your anwers/point and focus on more deeper question.

Um, being from 60 or 70, we had huge property lake there my grandpa great man used his company to have wildlife refuge, herds of elk, buffalo, deer other rare animals, I only 6 don't know I had albino racoon fox and weasel or ferrets as pets, this is known the Oregonian Portland we there maybe not? Doesn't exist anymore?
