When it comes to wilderness animals we have to make an effort to preserve what areas we can that they can be themselves in. Its come to a point though, clearly, where some species have to be cared for by humans if they are not going to disappear altogether.

People habitat has to take priority over bird habitat.

The quicker we humans learn that saving open space and wildlife is critical to our welfare and quality of life, maybe we'll start thinking of doing something about it.

Unless the local community signs up, wildlife won't survive. And without wildlife, no one will visit.

I was so fanatical about trying to save wildlife... I was unable to accept that we couldn't solve this problem of thousands of years, of wherever humans operated, the environment deteriorated.

I've always been such a fan of Habitat for Humanity and the work that they do.

Zoos should concentrate more on the preservation side of things.

I have worked with Habitat for Humanity for awhile.

I've already made a substantial commitment to wildlife by putting my land in the easement. It won't be developed. It will remain there in perpetuity - will be there for the wildlife.

House passage is good news for the Northwest corner and our environment.
