Taking Liberty

May 15, 2005

Finally, there is a way to learn how to "connect the dots" between the Wildlands Project, the United Nations, Heritage Areas, and Sustainable Development. Dr. Michael Coffman has developed a fantastic presentation that leads the viewer through the maze of issues that are so confusing.

A brand new web site, http://takingliberty.us/, presents a concise, comprehensive story, showing exactly how the proponents of land-use control have been able to develop policies at the international level, and implement those policies through federal, state, and local legislation and regulatons. The presentation begins with the master plan, and demonstrates how the government and NGOs are involved, and how the plan impacts private property rights. It discusses GAP Analysis, Greenlining, Conservation Easements, the Endangered Species Act, Roadless Areas, and, using maps, demonstrates how all these initiatives fit into the implementation of the master plan.

The presentation deals with regions and states, with emphasis on specific projects that are now underway. It shows critical habitat required by individual endangered species, and the effect these listings have geographically. As the map grows, it is easy to see how the land use restrictions in the habitat areas match with wilderness corridors, Heritage Areas, Biosphere Reserves, and greenbelts, to correspond with the Wildlands Project maps, developed more than a decade ago.

The viewer has only to watch, and listen. The presentation moves from subject to subject in logical order, and leads the viewer to an understanding of the "big picture" in a way that has never been possible before. You will want to view this presentation over and over again, and use it as the basis for local meetings.

The entire property rights, resource use movement is indebted to Dr. Coffman for this excellent work, and to the American Land Foundation and Stewards of the Range for making it possible. It will be a turning point in our efforts to educate an apathetic community.
