‘Vanishing Habitats’ for Wildlife Greatly Exaggerated in Push for ‘Biodiversity,’ Biden’s ’30 by 30′ Land Grab
Daily Signal ^ | 02/15/2023 | Rob Gordon

Decades-long mantras about “vanishing habitat” and ever-growing threats to wildlife have long been used to justify locking up more land through federal ownership or other restrictive measures.

The perfect example is the Biden administration’s proposal to conserve 30% of the nation by 2030—aka “30 by 30.” Exactly what the administration envisions is ambiguous, as it hasn’t defined words like “conserve” and “protect,” although insiders at the Department of the Interior say the 30% language is being incorporated into many Interior Department documents.

Conserve and Protect = off limits to everyone except triple masked, fully vaxxed and boostered liberal/black/muslim/minority/criminal/illegal groups

How much of the US is already “preserved”? I would say at least 30% in National Parks, BLM etc.

The 30-30 program. It reminds me of Rush’s proposal to save endangered species. You open them up for hunting. The hunters then make sure they are preserved in order to save the sport.

iden administration’s proposal to conserve 30% of the nation by 2030

Do it on a county-by-county basis nationwide and I'm all for it. I look forward to 30% of Washington DC, San Francisco, LA, Portland, Chicago and Manhattan being demolished to make way for trees.

Plenty. They may not have destroyed it completely, but they fling trash everywhere. Every time I go out hunting dove or quail, I find lots of discarded water bottles, garments, food wrappers, and other debris. One day I found at least 20 abandoned backpacks, all the same style. I’m about 50 miles from the border. Any sign of the Border Patrol? Nope.

That’s what I always wondered. Democrats want to cram the country full of hundreds of millions of people and then wonder why there’s loss of wildlife habitat.

Constitution doesn’t give them that authority. Needs to be struck down.

Globally - the largest driver of habitat destruction - poor people cutting down tree to burn so they can have cooked food and boiled water.

The bag limits mandated by each state’s game & fish department are a direct reflection of the abundance of wild game. Most eastern states have bag limits in every category at least as high as they were 50 years ago. In the case of big game, especially deer, many of the eastern states don’t just have the highest bag limits ever, they’re holding doe-only hunts as a means of thinning the herd. They’re overrun with deer and killing does has more impact on population than killing bucks does.

When I was a kid the does were off-limits and you could only harvest one buck a year. Deer were so scarce I knew people who had hunted regularly all their lives and never killed one. Now we’re so overrun with deer that in most of the state you can take two bucks and four does a year, and anybody who doesn’t manage to take at least one deer a season is either a screw-up of just isn’t putting in the stand time.

That is how it is here in PA, though you can only take one buck. You can
take as many doe as tags that you can acquire. I average two doe a year, but
only shoot a buck if it has a decent rack. Deer are like rats here.

How is it that everyone has forgotten the Agenda 21? Just because Obama called for the agenda to be updated to 2030, back in 2018 at his Paris Climate Treaty Meeting, does not mean that the agenda was was abandoned. It was just adjusted and new priorities set. The new priorities were to gain political control of the US people and win their war against the US oil industry.

After the US world dominance of the oil industry is achieved, the US schools made more fair and eqitable, by teaching to the lowest common denominator, and

More buzz words. Politicians depend on buzz words.
Never facts.

You people don’t get it. Maybe you are too young to remember what the Agenda 21 was all about, especially the part about remaking the United States and returning the rural areas, west of the Mississippi to what was described in the Agenda 21 as the rightful owners of those lands.

They had maps drawn up of how they would herd White people into cities, linked by multi-modal transportation corridors, which would limit human incursion into the rural areas,outside of the urban areas. These multi-modal transportation corridors would be international, linking trading ports, which would be managed by an international board of business men and financiers.

Preserving the rural US areas has nothing to with the environment, or preserving the beauty or animals in the parks. It has to do with clearing White capitalists from the land. Remember that during the Obama administration, they closed the fire roads and logging roads into the parks? Remember how they closed federal grazing lands and killed off wild horses? After years of horrible wild fires in Wa forests, Governor Inslee took back control of WA forests from the federal government because the feds couldn’t handle the fires.

The New World Order Progressives have made WA their first precedent setting example. The first move was to take control of the water rights, claiming that the LUMMI Indian tribe was owed control of ALL the water in Whatcom County, outside of urban zoned areas.

I could go on about the hypocritical environmental policies of the New World Order, but this is getting long. Just think about how offshore windmills are killing whales and fish, while the same Leftwing control freaks want to tear down dams for the sake of the salmon.
