Perfect!
Only near the goat herds!
Clinton and Schumer were in the park??
I say take Upchuck and Hitlery the Heinous Harridan on a nature walk and leave them to fend for themselves! And may the best reptile win!!
Quite soon, the larva of the common house fly will have more rights than an unborn human!
hmmmm wonder if one is shumer and one is clinton????
Could be they invited kerry; kennedy; durbin; dingy hairy; and the group to join them....
If this is the case, best shut down the Park, if one of these things bite you, you could turn into a loony-lib for sure....
This guy is a lunatick!
We need a bounty on environmentalists
Every liberal needs one for a personal pet.
BTTT!!!!!!
According to the GBA, reserves would include wilderness areas and national parks while inner buffer zones would permit no agriculture, no more than 0.5 miles of road per square mile of land, primitive camping, and only light selection harvesting of forests. The June 25, 1993 issue of Science magazine reports that the plan calls for 23.4% of the land to be put into wilderness (no human use) and 26.2% into corridors and human buffer zones (very limited use by humans).
Return to the Wilderness
The Wildlands Project is a massive program for restructuring society around nature as the organizing principle. The concept is Foreman's, but the plan was developed by Dr. Reed Noss under grants from The Nature Conservancy and the National Audubon Society. It was first published in Wild Earth, a publication of the Cenozoic Society, of which Foreman is chairman. Funded by the Ira Hiti Foundation for Deep Ecology, 75,000 copies of the plan were produced and distributed. The Wildlands Project was set up as a corporation with offices in Arizona and Oregon; Foreman is Chairman of the Board; Reed Noss is a Director.
Working in tandem with the Wildlands Project is the Biosphere Reserve Program, a creation of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The objective of the program, conceived in 1971, has been to designate sites worldwide for preservation and to protect the biodiversity of chosen sites on a global level. Toward that end, the Sierra Club has redrawn the map of North America into 21 "bioregions."
In turn, each of the 21 bioregions has been divided into three zones:
(1) Wilderness area, designated as habitat of plants and animals. Human habitation, use, or intrusion is forbidden.
(2) Buffer zones surrounding the wilderness areas. Limited, and strictly controlled, human access is permitted within this zone.
(3) Cooperation zones, the only zones where humans will be permitted to live.
According to Dr. Michael Coffman of Environmental Perspectives, Inc., a strategy to implement reserves and corridors in the northern Rockies would be to:
1) Start with a seemingly innocent-sounding program like the "World Heritage Areas in Danger." Bring all human activity under regulation in a 14-18 million acre buffer zone around Yellowstone National Park.
2) Next, declare all federal land (except Indian reservations) as buffers, along with private land within federal administration boundaries.
3) Next, extend the U.S. Heritage corridor buffer zone concept along major river systems. Begin to convert critical federal lands and ecosystems to reserves.
4) Finally, convert all U.S. Forest Service, grasslands, and wildlife refuges to reserves. Add missing reserves and corridors so that 50 percent of landscape is preserved.

Click here for the whole story....including the map that refused to come up on this post. People are asleep at the wheel as we have America stolen from Americans!
Agreed. See my post #33 with the links to continue to steal from America.
All they need to do is introduce king snakes. Bye bye rattle snakes : )
Jeez, three quarters of that map is bright red.
I used to hang out at Pelham Bay Park when I lived in the Bronx, where "Rattlesnake Brook" is located. It seems that Bronx was crawling with rattlesnakes well into the 19th century when the locals let their pigs at them (the Bronx had a lot of pig farms in those days).
Democrats in NY park!
