How much Land is Devoted to Wildlife? The Farce that Wildlife take up too much room on the Earth.

Much of this section has been taken from sp16 section 3.2.3.4: Oomans are not Generous in giving Land to Wildlife.

Over the millenia, as oomans have invaded and colonized more and more ecological habitats around the Earth they have exterminated more and more Wildlife species and started to disturb the planet’s geophysiological stability. They are those, however, including many so-called greens, who believe that Wildlife still have too much land - especially that put aside for Wildlife in the form of nature reserves or Wilderness areas. The fact is, however, that most nature reserves are a farce because Wildlife is still being persecuted as much as they ever were. More and more Wilderness areas are being turned into game reserves whether legally or in practice.

Pretty and pimbert contend that a substantial area of the Earth’s land surface has been designated as protected areas. They argue that in 169 countries there are 8,600 protected areas, covering 792 million hectares, composing 6% of the world’s land mass, “From 2,000 protected areas 20 years ago, there are now 8,600. They are to be found in 169 countries, covering 792 million hectares - nearly 6% of the world’s land mass. In india, where the number of sanctuaries and national parks has grown from 65 in 1960 to 530 today ...”[26].

These authors' estimates of Wilderness land is consierably smaller than the above estimates .. “around 3.5% of global land area is currently ‘totally’ protected. The actual figure may be somewhat less than this, as the ‘protected’ areas often include parks and wildlife reserves where considerable human activity still prevails or pollution impacts on the ecosystems.”[27]

The area of land around the world put aside for Wildlife may seem a lot but it’s just an illusion. The reason that many nature reserves have been set up is because oomans' destruction of the environment has been so intense that if some land wasn’t put aside for Wildlife there wouldn’t be Animals left. In other words, it is an attempt to slow down the rate of destruction rather than being a guarantree of Wildlife's survival. The quality of Wildlife areas leaves a lot to be desired. Oomans continue to invade these areas to steal resources needed by Wildlife which, as a consequence, are in the process of being destroyed.

Below are a number of examples which indicate that the land supposedly put aside for the protection of Wildlife is failing to do the job.

In many cases these places are Animal sanctuaries only in name, “Iucn - the world conservation union, works with the world conservation monitoring centre to record all such areas over 100 hectares. At the latest count, there were nearly 10,000, covering about 930 million hectares or 5% of the Earth’s land surface. On the face of it, that is an impressive figure. But there are many where the pressures have partially or even completely overwhelmed the protected area managers.”[28]

“The stillwater mining company has applied for a patent to 1.714 areas of national forest land in Montana, where it is mining platinum. The fee for the patent will be less than $8,600 but the value of the ore in the ground is estimated to be in excess of $30 billion.”[29]; “The (United Sates) General Accounting Office .. reported that in 1987, 265 patent requests (mining claims) were pending on 80,000 acres lying in national forests and the public domain.”[30]; “Oil and gas exploration .. was considered harmful to nearly half of the 64 (National Wildlife) Refuges on which it occurred.”[31]

"The simple truth is that nature reserves and sanctuaries in the soviet union are used as communist party-members' hunting grounds, and as a source of black-market meat and furs in a widespread network of corruption. Indeed, high ranking government and military commanders were legendary in russia for their hunts on nature reserves."[32]

When looked at from an historical perspective, a few millennia ago Wildlife dominated virtually the whole Earth and now they are left with a piddling 3-6%. It shouldn’t be difficult to understand that at this rate of decline it won’t be long before most Wildlife has been completely eradicated. Animals used to be killed by hunters but increasingly they are being killed by those destroying Wildlife habitats.

It needs to be pointed out that Animals created oomans (and therefore god) and that Wildlife are responsible for helping to stabilize the Earth’s climate. Giving creatures who are stabilizing the climate only 3-6% of the Earth’s landmass doesn’t say very much about oomans’ commitment to combatting global burning or protecting the earth's life support system. Surely, since Animals protect the Earth’s life support system then they should be given sovereignty over the overwhelming majority of the land on Earth whilst bipeds, most of whom persist in acting as Planet wreckers, should be confined to as small an area as possible - preferably either robbin island or some small islands in the middle of the Pacific.
