How to protect against a lawless humanity?

2 points by PicassoCTs ↗ HN
Its a discussion among friends, and the topic of wildlife protection has come up. In particular, how to protect wildlife against lawless times. Poachers, Deforrestation, the assumption that government wants to protect this, given enough monetary incentive, may not hold, if times get bad enough. So how to protect something, against humanity decaying down to a wild "today i life" horde?

It must not be wild animals, take something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_Global_Seed_Vault - its protected by its remote location.

Any idea is welcome. Non-violent preferred.

Buy some land, protect it like you own it. Protect it like it will help support you and yours if time do get that hard. Try to find neighbors that feel the same way.

Another challenge would be to protect against lawful inhumanity.

I don't see how this is worth discussing. The environment isn't safe now, when we do have laws.

To me it's plain and obvious: The general set of systems that allow environmental destruction on this scale... those same systems are the bedrock of law. It all boils down to the ability of some people to subjugate others.

The environment won't be safe until we rid ourselves of authority, law, subjugation, etc.
