Gopher tortoises no longer buried alive, but will relocation save them?
Gopher tortoises
Gopher tortoises no longer buried
alive, but will relocation save them?
Florida's approach to saving gopher tortoises from extinction a decade
ago allowed developers to bury the docile reptiles alive in their burrows in
return for what critics called "blood money" that was used to buy and
protect tortoise habitat elsewhere.
Thousands of tortoises a year were sentenced to death at the height of
Florida's building boom, with Orange County leading the way. Opposition from
environmentalists and animal-rights advocates finally brought a halt to the
state's "pay to pave" program in 2007 — just as the nationwide
housing slump and Great Recession brought a halt to most new construction,
anyway.
The
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission allows developers to move
tortoises that are blocking construction just a short distance to an
undisturbed area of the same development tract. Most of the time, though,
developers pay the owners of designated ranches, timberland and other largely
natural landscapes to take in tortoises from construction sites.
To get paid for adopting these long-living land dwellers, those
landowners must permanently designate their acreage as green space and ensure
it remains healthy — not overgrown with brush, for example — as tortoise
habitat.
a $1,000 payment to the owner of the relocation site.

"Jurassic Park bill"
Despite veto, Florida habitats still in
jeopardy
By Bill Maxwell
As a long time follow of Mr. Maxwell I
assume that someday you may get tired of my quoting him?
Oh Well, get over it because he is spot on
once again!
I know that the bill was vetoed please
read on to see why?
Florida's shortsightedness and greed have always
guided our leaders. they have been responsible for paving over our grasslands,
butchering our mangroves, backfilling our swamps, gouging our shorelines,
damming our rivers and bulldozing our trees, other than that they are just your
Norman politicians.
Now ever though our governor has vetoed this, as bill
has put it, "Jurassic Park bill"
Gov. Rick Scott believes state law already allows the
governor, Cabinet and the five water management districts to lease state lands
for purposes deemed constitutional.
WHAT?
This is the man that is in office to help save this
state?
Tripod wants to hear from you?

| I've had my site hosted there for
about 5 years now. I've had a couple of problems, where my site and all my files
dissapeared for a few days, but they were back with no problems after sending a
few frantic emails. Customer support pretty much sucks. You get the stanard
"refer to online help" which is so confusing it can drive you mad. Over all, I'm
still a pretty basic webmaster, so it's easy to use file manager has been good
for me. With as little as $4.95 a month, you get to ditch the pop ups and ads
on your site. The pop ups if not will drive you mad. It's not one per page, but
more like 3 minimum. They have a new plan where you can get a domain name and be hosted there, which I'm trying with a different account. I am happy with it so far, except their subdomains. You can link to your subdomain, except it shows in your browser window as the TRIPOD name, instead of your real subdomain. Otherwise it's still your basic tripod file structure which is great for me. Anyone who has any questions about their service, feel free to let me know. |
