They don't understand anything, they only pay lip service to the environment.
Anytime you cut down a bunch of trees they go 'You're destroying the environment!' Not knowing by doing that, your letting sunlight in for new plant to grow. Same with cattle management and hunting, there are an abundance of Deer in the UK because centuries ago they hunted all the wolves and bears, best solution, hunting licences and more venison meals.
I saw a video a little while ago how introducing wolves back into an ecosystem kept the deer population in check, which had a positive cascade effect. Fewer deer meant more plants could grow, increasing the diversity of animal life. It even improved the rivers, as the increased vegetation on the banks lessened soil erosion.
It's mixed, in America I think they reintroduced wolves into certain parts and it seems to work, but there's factors in that:
America is a large place
There are still larger predator animals around
They are talking about doing the same in the UK where I think there are 12 wolves in Scotland but it will probably not work as well, will incur wolf attacks on people and backlash. Just allowing more hunting licences and organising seasons is probably a better course of action.

Sure, but then you have fucking wolves in your ecosystem.
