From what I see:

1) The "professionals" are doing a very poor job in this regard.

2) The "wild animals should remain in the wild" mentality is a miserable failure.

3) The invasive issue applies only to us.

4) Habitat loss and degradation continues as before. Why? Because the ones ultimately calling the shots are the ones doing the damage. They have conveniently allowed the "professionals" a token place at the table and do occasionally throw them a bone or two at our expense. It's all stagecraft.

The ones calling the shots and doing the damage are in fact the ones running the governments.

Then it sounds like we agree, Steph. The governments are either bought and paid for by economic interests (as in the case of America), or are the economic interests themselves (as in the case of Third World countries).
