" Good subject as this does relate in part of the problem by creating competing interests of habitat conservation versus economic growth...Can there be a balance between the two? "



No, The only time there's legitimate habitat conservation is when,



the habitat ether has nothing to offer in terms of viable commodity's or the extraction of these commodity's is not feasible. Outside of that it`s all for sale.



The only agenda that drives a bill like HR 669 is a business agenda. Some people sell animals some people sell animal rights. Its about using an available commodity . Animal rights and conservation are exploitable commodity's.



There's not a government in the world that gives a crap about endangered species , eco systems etc. any talk about that inevitably leads back to someone making a buck. Look at the country's with the strictest wildlife laws and you will find the most endangered species in the world openly for sale in the market. The only time anyone says anything is a when one of these phony conservation groups show up with a TV camera. These groups make fund raising infomercials on how their fighting the illegal wildlife trade. The reality is nothing is being done.
