Nah, your (spelling?) sucks.  So does your history,  the Conservation
Movement began in the Conservative, not Liberal, political establishment.

So-called Conservatives have adopted the POV that Conservation is the
realm of Liberals, causing consternation in graveyards throughout our
great land.

Yes, tricky Dick Nixon, that 'ole cagey leftist in disguise, whose
administration oversaw/started so much of this leftist conservationist
horseshit (except for that begun by the equally leftist Republican
President Teddy Roosevelt).

But, of course, our poster is ignorant of the fact that wildlife 
belongs to the people of this country?  And that conservation
efforts stem from the (once accepted) conservative view that the
public's interest in their (wildlife) property can outweigh the
private land owner's interest in maximizing profit from their land?

This is the very basis upon which, among other things, state control
of hunting seasons rests (even on private land).  Hmm...throw the
concept out, and the world changes drastically, doesn't it?  Radical
change hardly seems conservative in nature.
