This is REAL conservation

I guess we won't have to worry about intense coastal development in Namibia (one of the few places we don't): the country recently declared their ENTIRE coastline, north-to-south, a national park. Now, it's bare and desolate, and it's also next to really cold ocean water (which is why it's a desert, partly), so it's fairly easy to do that, but it makes my conservationally-minded heart go pitty-pat to know that this particular desolation will remain unspoiled desolation. (By the way, it isn't a wildlife paradise, but it has quite a few denizens for such a biologically-challenged place.)
