Do you want your children to know what a panda is? How about your grandchildren? Then we'd best not cause them to disappear.

ANimals deserve a chance to live
they are alot like us even if u odnt realize this
and if just one species dies more will
it affects the food chain and our eco system
maybe you dont care
but u will; when you realize that your life
depends on that animal

Because I believe this:

"What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone man would die from a great loneliness of spirit. For whatever happens to the beast, soon happens to man. All things are connected" (Chief Seattle, 1851).

animals are the few remaining natural beauty&wonders of planet earth amidst all the depletion of their natural habitats and other environments.The least we could do is to protect them as they can't protect themselves from the wrath and technology of the human mind.Someeones gotta start campaigning for those poor lives. It starts with me.

Court Ties Economic Impact to Endangered Species Areas

from Bernard A.    May 06, 2007

A U.S. appellate court has determined that when the Fish and Wildlife Service designates critical habitat for an endangered species, it must analyze and consider the full economic impact on the area in which the habitat is located. That includes any economic harm resulting from the initial listing of the species under the Endangered Species Act. The decision was hailed as a significant victory for people throughout the country who say their livelihoods and culture are being ruined and their communities destroyed through deliberate misuse of the ESA by environmental extremists. The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver made the unanimous decision May 11 in a case involving the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher, a small bird that nests in areas along rivers and streams in seven Southwestern states. Hidden Agenda? The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service determined in 1995 that the flycatcher was endangered, but it deferred a "critical habitat" designation so it would have more time to gather information. But environmentalists accused the FWS of dragging its feet. In March 1997, the Tucson-based Southwest Center for Biological Diversity won a lawsuit in a U.S. District Court in Arizona that ordered the FWS to complete the flycatcher critical habitat designation in 120 days. The designation of critical habitat along hundreds of miles of rivers and streams would mean that no cattle or other livestock could graze near those waterways, which are the very lifeblood of ranching in the arid Southwest. Ranchers and farmers, who believe the real agenda of professional activist groups like the Southwest Center is to destroy their livelihood and way of life, were devastated. The potential negative economic impact on agricultural counties, especially in Arizona and New Mexico, was enormous. A coalition of agriculture groups, led by the New Mexico Cattle Growers' Association, filed their own lawsuit in March of 1998, arguing that the flycatcher habitat designation should be invalidated because the FWS did not correctly consider the economic impact of its decision.
