THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE ORDERS

To date, the treaty has never been ratified by the United States Senate, however, President Clinton endorses it. Consequently, the Administration has been moving forward as if the treaty were ratified. Virgil Moore, (R) Kentucky, indicated the only authorization for the unauthorized land give away in his state was a Presidential Executive Order. There are currently 47 Biosphere Reserves and 26 World Heritage Sites within the United States, giving foreign entities control over land owned by the Federal Government and private citizens. The only authority for this control and transfer of private and public land is executive order.

United States Representative Helen Chenoweth, (R) Idaho, testified before the House Committee on Resources on June 10, 1997 where she stated, "over 51 million acres in the United States have been designated by the United Nations as either World Heritage Sites or Biosphere Reserves." These "approximate an area the size of Colorado, our 8th largest state.

"Also disturbing is that designation of Biosphere Reserves rarely involves consulting the public and local governments. In fact, United Nations Educational, Scientific (UNESCO) policy apparently discourages an open nomination process for Biosphere Reserves. The Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention state: 'In all cases, as to maintain the objectivity of the process, State (national) parties should refrain from giving undue publicity to the fact that a property has been nominated (for Biosphere Reserve designation) pending the final decision.' "
TOP PRIORITY

Tim Wirth, Undersecretary of State for Global Affairs, said the Biological Diversity Treaty has the "top priority among all treaties" and agreements awaiting approval. Vice-President Al Gore is said to be willing to make almost any deal for its passage. The President, as noted above, is not waiting for approval, he is moving ahead as if ratification were an accomplished fact, using the executive order tactic.

The UN Biodiversity Treaty has a counterpart in the U.S. known as the Wildlands Project (WP). Its goals are similar, if not identical to the UN treaty, and is endorsed by the "Department of the Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, The Nature Conservancy, and the Sierra Club", says Henry Lamb who publishes Eco-Logic.. "The Wildlands Project wants to return at least 50 percent of the land area in America to 'core wilderness areas' where human activity is barred." Rewilding America, 12-95. The program would ultimately lead to the forced relocation of multiplied millions of United States citizens. But Reed Noss, WP Director, states that "the collective needs of non-human species must take precedence over the needs and desires of humans." ibid.

Maurice Strong, head of the Earth Summit in 1992 made this telling statement. "Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?"
