Thread Name: BS: Prevent Species Extinction thru Export?
Subject: RE: BS: Prevent Species Extinction thru Export?
"If only it were that easy" said Bill. Now, I wouldn't think it would be easy. I realize that species survival requires a specific set of parameters, including climate, food sources, predation. But neither is preserving an endangered species in its native habitat when that habitat has been altered by man any easier. Such environmental factors that allowed a species to thrive become almost secondary considerations when balanced with the political considerations that are needed to preserve a species in what has become an untenable situation in Africa. Wizzy and Peace want to compare this with the possibility of man relocating from earth. The difference is that we have, as yet, no place to go which offers man the things that enable life on this planet, while species relocation has no such limitations that I can see. So what prevents it?
