Eddy mate,

I think your a bit thick. Prior to that attack on the buckwheat the population trended upward but only marginally over the last 2 decades.

Part of INRs research was propagation and a large portion of their successfully propagated plant population was wiped out in that herbivory attack. This also significantly impacted on Tiehms population. So much so that many experts dont believe it will last another decade. So please explain how without Ioneers research and conservation funding the plant will survive against not only future herbivory attacks but also climate change?

The US and Nevada in particular are already going through record breaking droughts in the area.

IE going off facts:

Ioneer hasnt established a mine site
Tiehms population has already been significantly impacted
How will this be prevented in future??

Food for thought....
