For everything Europe does 10x better than us, conservation of wilderness doesn't seem terribly high on the list. I know it's a mixed bag, attitudes are bound to vary, and there must be efforts, but it seems for the few countries I've visited the opportunity has come and gone. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Conservation is one of just a few unifying issues for everyone in the States, regardless of political persuasion. It's a good litmus test for identifying the true psychos vs those who are just ignorant or misled, and also one of the few good things we actually have license to brag about as a country. We've done reasonably well for a very long time.

Now, though, the game has changed, and the forest service along with everything else is being gutted. I believe most won't stand for it. It will be interesting as summer is starting, when the suburbanites can't get their usual camp sites.
