From fisheries to forestry, there’s a pattern to collapsing ecosystems and industries. If we can predict them, maybe we can avoid the damage.
The government has decided to protect vast new expanses of land and sea. But bad planning and lax regulations are likely to limit, or even undermine, this conservation effort.
