I am a conservative in the true sense of the word. I believe in both good fiscal and environmental management. This, so what we have we then can pass on to our children and grandchildren.

You are proposing to lessen the protection of species in order to promote business and economy now.

But these measure are a false economy, not sufficiently factoring in the true costs of a given venture.

Ecosystems do not function unless there is a true diversity of animal, plants and organisms occupying all the available niches. Without this, the ecosystem we all depend is at risk of collapsing.

That extra cost will not be shouldered by us, but by future generations.

Not to sufficiently protect is to abuse future generations in advance.
