    The San Joaquin kit fox has been struggling for decades.

    Ah yes, “struggling.”

    I.e., polite-speak for “humans have been destroying its habitat, messing with its ability to survive, and making life miserable for it for a long time.”

      Yeah, like with pretty much every endangered animal - we either hunted it down or took away their habitat

      That’s exactly what the article is about.
      A large coal mine isn’t compatible with wildlife, but solar farms, if planned correctly and with the right circumstances, can be.

      And that’s a good thing
