The right to own private property is a fundamental American freedom that
guarantees personal liberty and promotes economic prosperity.

Where used to acquire large tracts of rural land, conservation easements are a wolf in sheep's clothing. Although environmental groups, government, and even sectors of resource-based industry laud conservation easements as a permanent means by which to maintain "working" forests, ranches and farms while protecting the environment.  In reality the easements place the productive future of the land in grave doubt. At the same time.  The easements are eroding that bastion of the American tradition of freedom, private property ownership.
The reasons cited to promote conservation easements are in error and better means to preserve productive rural lands are available. It is important to avert any major federal funding source (like CARA) for conservation easements.

What is The Wildlands Project?

The Wildlands Project would set up to one-half of America into core wilderness reserves and interconnecting corridors (red), all surrounded by interconnecting buffer zones (yellow). No human activity would be permitted in the red, and only highly regulated activity would be permitted in the yellow areas.

 

Four concerned conservative activists who now make up the board of Sovereignty International were able to find UN documentation that proved the Wildlands Project concept was to provide the basis for the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. They used this information and this map produced by Dr. Michael Coffman, editor of Discerning the Times Digest and NewsBytes and CEO of Sovereignty International, to stop the ratification of the treaty an hour before its scheduled cloture and ratification vote. (See Congressional Record S13790) Since the treaty was stopped, tens of thousands of Americans have used this map to expose environmentalist's efforts to implement this diabolical agenda piecemeal local, just as President Clinton is doing by setting aside millions of acres of public and private land. © 2000 Discerning the Times Digest and NewsBytes.
