Most wild places aren't lost in the field — they're lost on paper. In scoping notices that close before anyone responds. In environmental assessments that go uncommented. In permits that pass review without ecological challenge. We do the work of being present in those processes, and we build repeatable systems so this defense doesn't depend on luck or one-off heroics.
