Conservation and abundance are on the same side

Continuing that theme, the weaponization of environmental review as a tactic to delay or block new building has tended to cast the conservation movement as an antagonist to the Abundance Movement. But the same permitting and decision-processes which take so long and introduce so much uncertainty into the building of new infrastructure projects also hamper the goals of the conservation movement. As noted above, the burden of complying with regulation delays controlled burns, which leave forests vulnerable to fire. Shawn Regan, writing for The Ecomodernist, catalogs a number of additional ways that the conservation movement and the abundance and progress studies movements are working towards the same goals.
