    Trump administration sabotages major conservation effort, defying Congress

    Revealed: federal support to research centers cut off as scientists fear years of successful work will go ‘down the drain’


    Mon 8 Apr 2019 06.00 EDT

    Scientists and officials around the US have told the Guardian that the Trump administration has withdrawn funding for a large, successful conservation program – in direct contradiction of instructions from Congress.

    Unique in scale and ambition, the program comprises 22 research centers that tackle big-picture issues affecting huge swaths of the US, such as climate change, flooding and species extinction. They are known as Landscape Conservation Cooperatives – or were, because 16 of them are now on indefinite hiatus or have dissolved.

    “I just haven’t seen anything like this in my almost 30 years of working with the federal government,” said a scientist at the Fish and Wildlife Service who worked for one of the LCCs and wished to remain anonymous, because federal employees were instructed not to speak with the Guardian for this story. “There is this lack of accountability.”

    “Congress approved $12.5m for the existing 22 landscape conservation cooperatives,” said Betty McCollum, chair of the House interior-environment appropriations subcommittee, at a recent hearing with an interior department official. “[But] we are hearing disturbing reports from outside groups and concerned citizens that the LCC program is being altered and may not receive any federal funding.”

    What a terribly LOGICAL question to ask. Even if the word wasn't conservative. Who started the modern CONSERVATION MOVEMENT? That's TEDDY in the front at Yosemite...




    Quiz time! Without looking it up on your smartphone, rank the following three industry sectors in order of their overall contribution to U.S. consumer spending:

    1. Gasoline/fuel
    2. Pharmaceuticals
    3. Outdoor recreation


    If the list looks right to you as is . . . well, you’ve got it exactly backwards. (You’re not alone; I got it wrong too.) The $887 billion outdoor recreation industry accounts for more consumer spending than the pharmaceutical and gasoline/fuel sectors combined. It’s really, really big, in other words, right behind the financial services and insurance sector. Its various components—from fishing-tackle companies to tour guides to boatbuilders to outfitters and everything in between—employ 7.6 million people and provide more than $65 billion annually in federal tax revenue.

    What the fuck gave you that stupid idea? It's libs who are anti conservationists. If you weren't, you wouldn't promote wind and solar energy, which kill birds and bats by the millions. The people whose ideas you regurgitate, ad nauseam, are fucking frauds. They couldn't fucking care less about conservation, or the environment. Even the founder of Greenpeace has figured this out you fucking dipshit.

    You're triggered again, this time confusing conservation (which is a measured concern) with environmentalism (which has a different agenda, to destroy the US economy).

    Because new conservatism is rooted in the urban rural divide and they think anyone who tells them anything is talking down to them.
