Message: <blockquote data-quote="gst" data-source="post: 201747" data-attributes="member: 373">A couple years ago when I first became aware of the APP I did a little digging on their directors and funding "partners". Like I said, anyone claiming they support this because they are "protecting the future of hunting" needs to do a little research. SDMF just scratched the surface. <a href="https://www.americanprairie.org/scientific-advisory-council" target="_blank">https://www.americanprairie.org/scientific-advisory-council</a><a href="https://www.americanprairie.org/profiles/board-directors" target="_blank">https://www.americanprairie.org/profiles/board-directors</a><a href="https://www.americanprairie.org/national-council" target="_blank">https://www.americanprairie.org/national-council</a>Michael SouléThe Wildlands ProjectThe Wildlands Project    The reference to Noss, 1992, in the GBA is to a special issue of Wild Earth, a publication of the Cenozoic Society, a NGO committed to re-wilding the United States. In this issue, Dr. Reed Noss lays out in detail the land conservation strategy to implement the Wildlands Project.[SUP]<a href="http://www.discerningtoday.org/ALF/twp_bkgrnd.htm#Reed%20Noss" target="_blank">1</a>[/SUP] The <a href="http://www.wildlandsprojectrevealed.org/" target="_blank">Wildlands Strategy</a> calls for establishing core wilderness reserves that are interconnected by wilderness corridors, all of which would be surrounded by buffer zones managed to protect the wilderness areas (See Figure 1).<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td><img src="http://www.discerningtoday.org/ALF/images/Wildlands_core_diagram.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></td></tr><tr><td>The Wildlands Project calls for establishing thousands of core reserves and interconnecting corridors from Alaska and the Northwest Territories to Chile and Argentina.</td></tr></table>     The strategy normally is accomplished in five steps:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Identify existing protected areas such as federal and state wilderness areas, parks, national monuments, refuges and other designated sites. They should be from 100,000 to 25 million acres in size. These are already wilderness or close to it. Such tracts would serve as “core reserves” completely off-limits to human activity. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Identify other multiple-use government land that can be politically forced into wilderness status. Roadless areas are highest priority, but existing roads can be closed if roadless areas are not available. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Create wilderness corridors along streams, rivers and mountain ranges that interconnect the core reserves. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Purchase, condemn or regulate private property to fill in the gaps where public land did not exist. Usufruct regulation is preferred because the government would not have to pay for the land. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Create buffer areas around land not in core reserves or interconnecting wilderness to manage them sustainably so they protect the core wilderness areas.</li> </ol>Wildlands Project co-author Reed Noss explains that in the core, corridor and buffer areas, “The collective needs of non-human species must take precedence over the needs and desires of humans.”[SUP]<a href="http://www.discerningtoday.org/ALF/twp_bkgrnd.htm#Reed%20Noss" target="_blank">1</a>[/SUP] The <a href="http://www.twp.org/" target="_blank">Wildlands Project</a> is the master plan for both <a href="http://www.igc.apc.org/habitat/agenda21/index.html" target="_blank">Agenda 21</a> and the Biodiversity Treaty, and represents a grandiose design to transform at least half the land area of the continental United States into an immense “eco-park” cleansed of modern industry and private property. Says Noss;- - - Updated - - -So for those supporting this to protect hunting..........go through the above links and show us those that have protecting hunting on the forefront of their agendas. </blockquote>
