So we found three particularly worrying effects, the ones being talked about. And I'll give you them in, sort of, order of increasing concern.

So that's the more innocuous end.

Instead of recognizing that all they're really doing is just displacing it and moving it around the landscape.

And the last, and probably the most worrying of all, is that sometimes we may actually be acting to attract developers, keen to capitalize on conservation immunity.

And what we end up doing then is drawing them in to priority areas for conservation.
