The article seems to suggest it's a zero sum game. It doesn't have to be. One can plant resources for animals in mind, use feeders, provide structural best resources both natural and artificial, AND STERILIZE feeders regularly. The simple fact is that people edged out habitat... And the corresponding food resources. People created the vast majority of impacts. It doesn't hurt to make amends for that. We should not be cavalier if dangers present themselves. However, most of those in the piece are easily avoided with a modicum of effort.
Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
