How would you help wildlife?

They're already doing that with rampant access to abortion.

This is going to sound harsh, and by design, but how uninformed does someone need to be to think it's okay to spend money to purposely fund human population control?

China did this all too well and their economy will tank because there aren't enough replace the aging population dying and retiring...

I wasn’t being serious. I was using an extreme to point out that if human expansion continues taking over animal habitat all other measures fall short.
 
I have planted 13 miles of hedgerow on my farm. I now have a great upland population. WTD are good and even a few moose . Antelope come and go ; trees are not a big thing for their habitat.
Unfortunately neighbours tear their trees out.
I did all this on my own dime. I get a little annoyed when some conservation organization plants few trees and a little grass. Then they are applauded for the effort.
 
I’d pay off every member of Congress and the president to these ends:
-require/ fund the USFS to actually manage the forests. Burns, logging, road maintenance. Fire nearly every USFS employee in DC. Require a chainsaw proficiency test to be qualified to be hired for ANY USFS position.
The amount of employees I’d hire would probably break me after a few years!
-Set up several lumber mills to help bring back American lumber. Most likely lose money for years or decades.
-Fully fund the restoration of the American chestnut tree.
-once habitat has been improved for 10+ years, I’d restock quail, grouse, and turkey where poor habitat has extirpated them-increase elk stocking in the East, subject to CWD awareness.
-pass legislation to limit ANY new solar farm to previously disturbed ground/existing structures ONLY.
- lobby states to pass legislation limiting urban sprawl by incentivizing business to remodel existing urban areas, rather than spread out into new rural areas.

It wouldn’t take long and I’d be broke.
 
Invest in winter ranges would be my 1st priority, 2nd would be investing in MT Goats, helping out herds or paying to get goats relocated from NP to state lands to help herd numbers.

Id love to see a few of the lower 48 have a 'otc' tag for goats. Even if its something like MT unlimiteds.
