The
environmentalists are choosing their battles and waging war on modern society.
They are picking targets of opportunity around the world and convincing the
public that the use of a resource will threaten them. The challenge for true
conservationists is to understand this and band together in order to counter
this movement. If we do not begin to understand this agenda, then one by one we
will all be picked off. 
IWMC
