Here’s a classic example of utter government incompetence.

According to the Interior Department’s own statistics, the federal government has only recovered 3% of listed endangered species in 50 years and after billions of dollars spent.  The government’s complete inability to stop forest fires, for example, is doing incalculable damage to species protection.

Meanwhile, our friends at LandCAN, a private property and environmentally-friendly association that advocates wise habitat management, notes:

“An untold story today is the greatest success of the environmental movement that private

landowners, ranchers, farmers, forest owners across the nation are largely better land managers than federal government agencies which have calcified, and have more administrative plaque than any elderly heart patient.”

They also show that 80% of wetlands and endangered species habitat is on PRIVATE LAND.
