I don't think anyone would publically say they would like to develop it but believe me plenty here think it. The problem with much of these areas like Picayune is that there are little to no buffer zones. Many or most National Parks in S. E. Asia in particularly India have buffer zones around the parks and "core areas" where no one is allowed.In Collier co. near Picajune and the Fl. Panther National Wildlife Refuge they are now building Ava Maria University that is actually a small city situated on the edge of the heart of much needed habitat for our big mammals. The ENP doesn't have the best habitat for the mammals but the northern areas do and development is progressing right up to the borders. It is truly a shame that officials would allow such a huge development to buffer such important wildlife habitat as this...I think that is what UPSCALE meant...
