I'm often sceptical of critiques of conservation methods, as nuances may be critical but outside the narrative.
However, the "bounding box" approach requires the ability to provide active protection measures at the boundary of the grid square.

This is of course impossible.

I think there is confusion here with the declaring something protected and actually doing the work needed to protect.

This is a widespread and significant problem here in Nova Scotia in my experience.

#PipingPlover is the bird on many licence plates.
