Conservation Group Missed Viral Gold with AI Leopard.

So, the Cape Leopard Trust is out here warning about AI leopards causing panic in Pniel. I saw that story... and all I hear is wasted attention. They had a goldmine of virality handed to them — hyper-realistic images of a predator creating buzz, engaging an entire town, and getting global headlines. Instead of leveraging that insane reach to educate or promote actual conservation, they debunk it? That's not risk management, that's ignoring free PR on steroids. Imagine the donations they could've pulled, the engagement metrics they could've hit, if they just leaned into the spectacle. They're trying to put the genie back in the bottle when they should be teaching it new tricks to scale their Brand Empire.
