Yeah, wetlands conservation/restoration won't employ anyone.

It's all done by robots.

No jobs for anyone in that, especially not planners, ecologists, landscape engineers, labourers.

And all for a single mouse.

Just one.

It certainly won't help study into how to manage rodent populations in order to keep California's agricultural output secure. It's not like California produces much food either.

Oh, and it's 30 million. You're off by a factor of ten. Thirty million out of 790 billion.
Yes, a team of about 5000 scientists will decend on the field to study the field mouse and its habitat. Come on, 5 guys in white jackets with clipboards. I feel the stimulation. 30 million or 3 bucks...this is not a stimulus.
