THE WILDLANDS PROJECT
Step by step, piece by piece, the Wildlands Project is coming to fruition. The Project, foundational to the U.N.Biodiversity Treaty which was never ratified by the U.S. Senate, calls for approximately 50 percent of the United States to be set aside as "wildlands", where no human can enter. Much has been accomplished over the past 10 years toward that goal, and the pace is stepping up, with the help of the federal agencies under Clinton/Gore.

Map from www.wildlandsproject.org "The Wildlands Project’s work to reconnect
the continent begins with "MegaLinkages"—vast pathways
that tie natural places together. Each MegaLinkage is made up of
regional "Wildlands Networks." Within the Spine of the
Continent MegaLinkage, six Wildlands Networks have been proposed,
and within these networks, the Wildlands Project has launched a
campaign to protect "Endangered Linkages"—the critical
connection within each network that is most threatened." |
From control of the water - to taking land out of private ownership - to "protecting" numerous species - all the pieces of the puzzle work together to form the complete picture.
Following are just a few of the news stories that reflect the piecemeal workings to attain the overall goal. People remain unaware of the size and scope of the operation because land is being taken in the name of "endangered species". Other articles on this site address that issue.
Many of the stories under the current news for this month involve the "taking" of private property and methods of changing the status of private land ownership into public land ownership. Look at these in light of The Wildlands Project, and the pieces of the puzzle will begin to fit.

These are the folks who have carved up the entire Pacific Northwest into
41 "ecoregions", and have made complete evaluations and plans
for their "conservation".
It won't take much wandering around the CBI site before you realize the
huge amount of money that's behind all of this...
