Current Government ownership:
The Goal:
Instead of partnering with American citizens, supporting our liberty, our rights and our right to own private property - in an effort to solve real environmental concerns - our Government would rather just take our land and our liberty.
UN Agenda - a Connection to the Wildlands Project?
The influence of Agenda 21, and other United Nations treaties and policy documents is very clear in the implementation of land use policies in rural America. The United Nations policy on land use was adopted in 1976 by the UN Conference on Human Settlements (HABITAT I). The Preamble says, in significant part:
"Land...cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice..."
( Learning from informal markets - E Berner, page 230)
Agenda 21: "Compile detailed land capability inventories to guide sustainable land resources allocation, management and use at the national and local levels"(Chapter 10.7(f) p. 86).
Global Biodiversity Assessment: "Include methods that limit the use of land resources through zoning schemes; use incentives and tax policy to foster particular land-use practices; create and enforce tenure arrangements...and establish easements...that seek to establish landscape characteristics favourable to biodiversity" (Section 13.1.3(5), p. 926).
Sustainable America: "Government agencies, conservation groups, and the private sector should expand the use of ecosystem approaches by using collaborative partnerships...for sustaining ecosystems and biodiversity. Develop indicators which can be used to monitor the status of ecosystems...for restoring damaged ecosystems." (Chapter 5.2(1-5) p. 119).

________The Wildlands Project exists within legal boundaries, and their ideal is even something to be admired, however that should not prevent anyone from being concerned. At the very least, it advocates an extreme manifestation of environmental public policy. And so, any claim the Wildlands Project makes toward public policy should be debated and decided in the public arena. Yet to date it has existed almost anonymously beyond the knowledge of the wider public. (Founder: Dave Foreman).
