Its always the neo-Malthusian competition and pseudo-morality nonsense rather than adaptation and survival. Anyway, conservationism in the US had its origins in racist huntsmen who blamed natives and the poor for species going extinct rather than their own bourgeois failson and industrial practice (greatest example is the buffalo), so not surprised.
Thinking about documentaries, all the in the future documentaries are really super lib, worst one that comes to mind is Earth 2100, its so US and bourgeois centric even when it came out it was breathtakingly bad. My favorite is the end where the narrator protagonist flips out her grandson won't ever see an opera like we're back in Balzac's time and that's the highpoint of the arts, society and culture.
