Man that's some crap right there. Science should be in the direct interest of politics, esp. in the case of ecology, environmental studies.
What does it mean to be forbidden to speak, that's a load of shit, if there is someone that's studying the field, allow them to present the facts of what occurs, and whats the best way (saving lives of wildlife, cost effectiveness, etc) to officials.
a load of bullshit its whats holding us back.
