When people speak of the struggle for nature conservation, this is, of course, primarily from a psychological point of view, about — or should be about, if we grasp the essence of the matter — not so much the relationship of humans to nature as the relationship of people to one another. This is something we ourselves do not always realize.
What is the struggle for nature conservation? Some kind of state action? Or is it the activity of some organized group of people? Or something else entirely? We will speak about this third possibility — what it could be, if we were to set ourselves the hypothetical task of achieving this goal. Organizationally: people would gather, they would organize a certain society (such a society does, generally speaking, exist, but we know very well that the mere existence of this society by no means guarantees the conservation of nature, and moreover, this society, at least in part, does not deal with this issue at all). If the struggle for nature conservation is strictly a state action, perhaps not a one-time event but an ongoing one, then it is organized by a body of civil servants — and you, too, are not one of them (in this capacity).
