CAMBRIA, CA - Lost in the recall frenzy are a pair of ballot initiatives that voters will also see on October 7. There has been some media attention for Ward Connerly’s Proposition 54, the Racial Privacy Initiative, but almost no notice paid to Proposition 53, which would dedicate three percent of the state general fund each year to infrastructure projects such as roads and water supplies.
Saving Endangered Species Privately: A Case Study of Earth Sanctuaries, Ltd.
Submitted by Michael De Alessi on 8.1.2003
Australia has one of the worst records of mammalian extinction in the world, in large part because so many of its species evolved in isolation and were not well-equipped to deal with the introduced species that came with European settlement. In recent years, however, a focus on feral eradication and on protection of native species in feral-proof enclosures or sanctuaries has started to reverse this trend. Earth Sanctuaries, Ltd., a private company in Australia, has been at the forefront of this type of protection. It has played a significant role in the recovery of many species.
