That sentiment is the practical base for the most effective conservation program that I know of, the Duck Stamp program in the US.
It is an annual stamp for the duck hunting license whose proceeds are used for habitat conservation and improvement.
It has been a tremendous success, expanding the protected environment not just for ducks, but all manner of other wildlife.
There is nothing comparable elsewhere, most 'bunny huggers' are awol when it comes to paying for the needed wild spaces.
