Here are the results of the EU flirtation with restricting research on primates. Researchers can continue most experiments on mankind's closest relatives -- chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans -- after European Union lawmakers watered down proposals to restrict testing. Nothing, nothing makes me angrier than animal researchers.

Thus, birds may be moving from protected areas to unprotected areas, creating a conservation mismatch. Expanded protected areas, buffer zones, and connectivity corridors may be needed to avoid local extinctions.

This example is important because it appears that the protector species, not just the protected species, gains a benefit, the latter having been documented many times before.
