I think the best we can do is to try to preserve habitat, and to say, "We human beings, we don't know really how much of the world ought to go to you and how much for (us). We're going to reserve a certain space for non-humans and we're going to leave you alone -more or less." So, evolution in its natural way, takes place within a habitat, we don't try to manipulate that, we kind of leave that alone, "laissez faire" in economists terms, and then deal with our own sector more.
