The endangered species act…

The endangered species act was originally designed to preserve and protect our natural world. The proposed changes now allows influence of political and economic pressures to affect regulation and protection to the detriment of our wildlife and wild spaces. I am always disappointed when they appoint a Minister in this department. Very rarely do they have experience or knowledge of flora and fauna or a background in ecology and conservation. It would be very dangerous to allow them to make decisions on future proposed legislation. It leaves it open to doing "favours" for their fellow politicians and businesses to help them get votes or advance their careers.
