Reply to comment by anonkitty2 in [OC] The Number of Endangered Species in Each US State by malxredleader

Well 3:

  • Help endangered species thrive
  • Kill off stuff that's endangered
  • Don't actually look for at risk species in the first place

They meant that you can lower the number of endangered species in your state by helping them recover or by letting them die out. Either option will decrease the number of species on the endangered list.

Well, they did have a point with what they were saying, if they have an inaccurate count from under reporting, it's going to skew lower, and say there's a fewer amount of endangered species

Like how one method people employed of lower confirmed covid cases was to not test. Can't have confirmed cases if you don't test, though it does nothing to the actual amount of covid cases.

Failing to look won't remove species that are already being counted.
