as preserves until such time as native, or host specific non-native, biological
controls are avaiable. They should be at least 95% weed free.

country-- preserve the original ecosystems?<BR><BR>Dear Marc and All,<BR><BR>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?<BR><BR>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?<BR><BR>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?<BR><BR>Sincerely, Craig Dremann (650)
