[APWG] 100 qacres every 15 miles across the country-- preserve the original ecosystems?

I agree. These areas will serve as preserves until such time as native, or
host specific non-native, biological controls are avaiable. They should be
at least 95% weed free. Marc

Dear Marc and All,

I am proposing that in the USA, we preserve 100 acres every 15 miles in each
direction, which would be a 1:1400 ratio in exchange for the land we use for
our purposes?

And that would help preserve insitu the native plant and animal diversity we
have across the nation.  And perhaps these preserves should be owned by the
local indigenous peoples?

Plus these areas could possibly be used as carbon sinks for our fossil fuel
and coal burning, to help sequester some of the carbon that we are puitting
into the air?  And that those area be restored to 99% weed-freeness?

Sincerely,  Craig Dremann (650) 325-7333
