Dear Brent: Before everybody gets all hot and giggly about the idea...you
might want to look at a study commissioned by some of your own Canadians
regarding buffalo meat marketing and buffalo production in Canada and the
United States.

It was commissioned by your own Loblaw group....aka Weston.....aka BQP
British Quality Pigs...all the same people.

They are just a little bit more than worried...buffalo meat sales aren't
what they thought they would be...and Canadians aren't buying their b.S.
Neither are us Ameriki's.

Hi Burkie,

The significance of the Buffalo Commons idea, isn't so much commerical interests, although that's part of it as ted Turner for example, tries to to market his Buffalo..
The Buffalo Commons is part of the Bio-diversity agenda in North America for the Great Plains Region
See Sierra Club Ecoregions.. Buffalo Commons is the idea for the Great Plains
http://www.sierraclub.org/ecoregions/

The Implementation of the UN bio-diversity agenda in North America.. is called the Wildlands Project..
Since Ecoregions don't conform to human made boundaries.. the laws are set up so ecology trumps property rights.. In other world it's a way to steal propery rights and displace small landowners..

Here's some info on North America..
I recently posted an article about a Bio-Diversity plan for Norfolk.. Our UKk friends should check out more thoroughly what plans are in the UK.. There will be a plan for the whole of the UK even if they call it something else..
I would not be surprised if the hardest hit areas for FMd for exmaple Cumbria, may have been targetted for re-wilding

All the Best

The “Biodiversity agenda” is about using “wild” animals to DISPLACE humans and domestic animals.. So the agenda in North America for example.. is to promote the spread of large carnivores, wolves, cougar, bear(grizzly and black) to drive out farmers and ranchers..

The “wildlands project” in North America is a main mechanism for implementing the UN biodiversity agenda
Our vision is simple: we live for the day when Grizzlies in Chihuahua have an unbroken connection to Grizzlies in Alaska; when Gray Wolf populations are continuous from New Mexico to Greenland.... Our vision is continental: from Panama and the Caribbean to Alaska and Greenland, from the Arctic to the continental shelves....

WILDLANDS PROJECT: Incredible, Outrageous and a Very Real Danger

Dr. Reed Noss who is associated with the Wildlands Project as well as the University of Oregon and other radical environmental groups describes the corridor that would be needed to assure viability of the grizzly bear in Montana. “If the population of grizzlies in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is to be connected to other populations, which seems to be necessary to assure population viability,then wide corridors with resident grizzlies must connect Yellowstone with the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem (about 200 miles away) and the wildlands of central Idaho. …corridor for grizzly bears should be at least 44.25 km (27.5 miles) wide. In further describing the corridor, he states, “Because Road densities above about 0.5 miles of road per square mile of habitat may be a threat to grizzlies (Bader 1991), road closures would be required to make inter-regional corridors safe .

Typical environmentalist that he is, Noss is not satisfied with half as we find out further on in this article. “I would offer a more ambitious long-term goal, PENDING HUMAN POPULATION REDUCTION, that at least 95 percent of a region be managed as wilderness and surrounding multiple-use wildlands.” Of course Noss envisions himself and his colleagues roaming the 95% in some scientific/management capacity. They would set themselves up as kings of the forest with all the wealth and authority of the federal government at their command. The rest of us will be forcibly confined in the remaining 5%. Thankfully, there will be fewer of us to share that urban desert of poverty, crime and hopelessness. The loggers have already been told by government officials and radical environmentalists alike that they must adapt to the new social realities. Sooner or later we all follow that road if these people win this battle.
Don’t think that Dr. Noss is some lightweight, hemp smoking tree hugger whose opinion can be easily dismissed. He has a Ph.D. in Wildlife Ecology, a long list of awards and professional appointments
to boards and committees. He has written hundreds of articles and books. Noss has worked as a naturalist/conservation biologist for 28 years for various universities, federal and state agencies, including the EPA, and environmental groups. These credentials don’t make him right – just respected. We don’t dare turn over control of our lives to the educated fools who hold forth on most of our college campuses. http://www.mtmultipleuse.org/wildlands_project.htm

TWP Activity Summary: EXTREME

The centerpiece of the special edition is a strategy developed by Dr. Reed F. Noss, a research scientist for Idaho’s College of Forestry, and Stanford University. According to Noss, the plan was prepared “...on contract with the National Audubon Society and The Nature Conservancy,” two of the richest and most respected environmental organizations in the world.
Simply put, the Wildlands Project proposes to put humans in small urban islands within a wild continent. How much wildland is needed?
Noss says 1000 grizzly bears are needed to sustain the species and he has determined that 1000 grizzlies need 242 million acres, or 378,000 square miles. That’s an area larger than New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska combined. And that’s for only 1000 grizzly bears.

In Deep Ecology, Gary Snyder says:
"There are now too many human beings and the problem is growing rapidly worse.... If man is to remain on earth, he must transform the five-millennia long urbanizing civilization tradition into a new ecologically-sensitive harmony-oriented wild-minded scientific/spiritual culture. Nothing short of total transformation will do much good."

The Wildlands Project: A Cure
Dave Foreman is the primary force behind the Wildlands Project. He is probably quite sincere when he says in his book, Confessions of an ECO Warrior: "An individual human life has no more intrinsic value than does an individual grizzly bear life." Or, when he says: "We can see that life in a hunter-gatherer
society was on the whole healthier, happier, and more secure than our lives today as peasants, industrial workers, or business executives." http://www.ruralcleansing.com/articles/article017wildlands.htm

Rewilding rationale outlines by Soule and Noss.. I believe this is the philosophic basis advanced to “justify” a lot of the plans. http://192.211.16.13/curricular/MES/rewilding.pdf
