ABOUT THIS SITE

Green Deep State provides fearless and well-defended analysis recognizing that renewable natural resources (e.g. water, air, soil, habitat and fish and wildlife) are generally resilient and dynamic, not fragile and static as so many conservation policies assume. The work here likewise recognizes the true and actually generally encouraging US trends for habitat, wildlife and other renewable natural resources. 

This site challenges conservation policies and regulations that lack scientific integrity, an epidemic within the endangered and threatened species programs where conjecture, misinformation, and blatant dishonesty are used to justify ever expanding regulation. Someone has to challenge the green, deep state.
