Answer 1

Yes, DDT was banned because a few bird eggs had thin shells.  Result more birds with thicker egg shells.

By product was the deaths of over 10 million human beings due to pest born (usually mosquitoes) diseases like malaria.  DDT is the best remedy for this but the eggs shells of a few birds were more important!    http://www.acsh.org/healthissues/newsID....

Animals live and die, it is a normal cycle of life.  In the U.S. there are more forests today than 1000 years ago!  Yes, there is encroachment by civilization into some old forest area that displaces some animals.  But, man is an animal and animals do kill, eat or push out other animals - that's the way it has been for millions of years!

I love animals but human beings are more important!  Some conservation efforts are well meaning but they end up causing more problems in the end.

Life isn't fair - that's normal!

Answer 2

Biggest issue: preserve the habitat. Frogs are disappearing from rain forests at an alarming rate. Part of the problem is habitat destruction, part of the problem is stress. Stress makes organisms vulnerable to disease, infections, etc. Everything is connected to everything else. Nature finds a way to balance, but not when humans keep changing things. When we dump garbage in the water, we change the whole world and harm everyone and everything.

Answer 3

"Green zones" around citys.

Answer 4

as for the united states, we have put 36 million acres in the conservation reserve program for conservation of soil and wildlife. to put that into perspective, we will only have about 86 to 87 million acres in corn this year. with grain prices going up many of those acres that will be coming out of the CRP will go into grain. environmentalists and wildlife conservationists are screaming," no, do not do it ".but if wildlife conservationists want to continue to protect the wildlfe on those acres someone has got to pay because the land owners can get twice as much rent from farming crops than farming wildlife.  ah, and there is where the trouble starts. we have a group of people who want to protect every animal on the planet or provide them a place to hunt, fish,camp or just walk through and enjoy. then you have a group of people that does not really care about animals or the land but want only cheap food and energy. the last group, that usually gets lost in the debate over the environment is the landowner. the point i'm trying to make is that we CANNOT  have cheap food, cheap energy and plentiful wildlfe. we can and now do have plentiful wildlife in the u.s. today as a result of the CRP  and wildlife groups such as ducks unlimited. if we are going to continue to support conservation programs for the land and wildlife as has been done with the passage of the new farm bill we must also realize that those 36 million acres taken out of crop production and used for wildlife comes at a cost and that cost is reduction in land used for growing food and fuel.
