You gotta see these details too.
All of the funders and loads more info surrounding the inner affairs of the CBD, some ruled as underhanded by courts.

Should we petition (lobby) the funders to halt funding for the buckwheat because it's already being intensively protected, and to instead spend money on an alternate and better cause?
The CBD likes official avenues...petitions and lobbying are two of them.
They play dirty tactics, yet we could expose things via nothing more than honesty.


These lawyers and professional activists earn a pretty penny!
They should be held to account for wasting money on preserving something that is already being protected - and which if left alone will ultimately perish, given global warming and pestilence.
