Environmentalists are worried. "It's definitely an alarming trend," said Peter Galvin, a conservation biologist and co-founder of the Tucson-based Center for Biological Diversity.

Yea!!!

PING!!

BUMP...

The Center for Biological Diversity and many other groups, sued the USF&WS so many times in 2000, that the Endangered Species Fund for 2001 was actually spent before the year even started!

So if the FWS found any species that needed special attention, they were out of luck! All new endangered spending had to now wait until the following year when funds would be available again.

Endangered Species Funding is now court driven!

FINALLY the citizens of Bedrock are seeing the light. A more leftie state I've never seen.

Thanks for the article, good to hear. These guys must be hell in the Fall when people turn their clocks backward, ha ha ha.

"We're very concerned that what industry is doing here is attempting to basically turn back the clock on wildlife protections."

You would think that after decades of using the phrase 'turn back the clock' that they would get a little more creative. No thought there. Or that the press would get bored with it and ask for specifics. Doubt it, probably just doing the Hillary head-bob.

Also 'basically,' entirely overused catchphrase.

Pink Floyd might ask 'is there any thought out there.'

If the watermelons are worried then the landowners have hit upon a successful strategy. Good on them! The protection of toe sucking fairy shrimp and limp wristed red legged transgenedered frogs has had a serious economic impact on producing citizens for way too long. Lets hope that the pendulum has just begun its swing in the opposite direction.

Thanks for the good news.

For a prime example of how much these Enviral Jihadists hate humans and love and prefer plants go to this thread. The largest fire in a century in Oregon has threatened two counties and still is a threat.

Read about an incredible World Class Clymer who didn't want fire lanes, put into his Lillies, kept them out. (Fires Spread Plant Damage, Disease, Ore-gone Eco Terrorists's View of Fire Fighting 08/10/2002)

Now basically the entire wilderness area has burnt up and is still threatening these two Oregon counties and about 30,000 people.

The environmentalist organizations are simply Communist Fronts attacking the basis of our democratic republic --- protection of private property ownership

We have to face up to this, and act accordingly....which the landowners in the article seem to be doing, God bless them!

Thanks for the good news.

I didn't see them mentioned but this looks like something my friends over at the Paragon Foundation may have had a hand in.

I am starting a campaign to make NYC's Central Park a roadless "critical habitat".

Let's get back to man as a protected species.

PING for good news.

Thumbs up for a great read! The commies/greens need to crawl down into the hell hole they came out of! Didn't want to rape the natural resources....just manage them intelligently....be a 100 years getting back what the greens screwed up in 25. When I see the daily fire report, it makes me want to ring the necks of the stupid ass greenies for messing with a well developed, and managed resource that did far better under the nuturing of industry, like Boise Cascade or Wierhauser.

Although I am in favor of protecting TRULY endangered species, this latest development is good news, indeed. There's one thing in "protecting" and another thing in being ridiculous - especially when they lie about it (the lynx).

I really am happy that people are starting to fight back.
