Species at risk must continue to be identified and protected both site specific and with broader geographic measures. Business does not trump protection of the species.
Paying into a fund or providing alternative efforts does not provide sufficient remedy for species at risk.
The act has provided protection for several species at risk and has proved important. E.g. the Blandings turtle and the Little brown bat. Open for business cannot and should not mean without limits. If exceptions are made then where is the line drawn?
