The targets of my policy study, animal conservation, are constructed using a regulatory approach to the policy. Which causes more conflict. When there are more rules and regulations, even ones that are needed, people feel like they are not in control, and somebody is always going to be unhappy. The targets are the people that are doing harm, whether it is intentional or not. But everyone needs to be aware. If the targets of my policy got to use their "local knowledge" to make policy on their own, there would be many, many problems. People only can make decisions based on what they know, and what they have experienced, if you do not put the information out there about the issue, then people are forced to make decisions from what they already know, or don't know. The targets need the full story to make rational decisions, instead of decisions based on self interest or emotion.
