Wildlife Preserve?

Question

I invested in some land some 5 years ago I originally bought about 5 acres to build for a lake house well with my job with animals the pay wasn't as high as I was hoping so I saved up now

I have around 4.7 million dollars turns out the second year I got a promotion. But that isn't all when I looked up my land it turns out I now have 374 Acres of desert,mountains, and some grassland/forested areas. I've been thinking should I open up a Wildlife Preserve I already know where to get the animals from hunting ranches, I know it may not be sensible but it's giving the animals who would have otherwise been hunted for trophy, another chance. Now I'm thinking of something like Fossil Rim or Arbuckle Wilderness, I'm asking the Yahoo Users who care about the environment should I go ahead and try and make a Wildlife Preserve or would it be a waste of time and money?

Answer 1

Problem is with the wildlife preserve you personally would be responsible for its management. In the national forests the rangers determine the population of the animals and issue hunting license to prevent over population that the land can't support. You will have to take on that role and make sure the animals don't become so overpopulated as to destroy the habitat.

Answer 2

Any natural land that is preserved is good for the Earth. If you want to help the Earth and are willing to make a Wildlife Preserve, I recommend it and thank you for doing it.

Plus you get bragging rights for awhile. Good luck.

Answer 3

It is a great thing. I have always wanted to save endangered animals by setting up a wildlife preserve. But i never had the resources.

Try to get endangered and rare animals as you can set an example for others. Also you can run safari trips to show these animals and earn some money as well.

Or maybe set up some Tree houses for families to spend their weekends or holidays in the wild.

You should go ahead you will be doing a noble and a profitable deed.

Answer 4

We thank you for your good intention in preserving wildlife. But before doing that, think first about the consequences that you will encounter. Will your money can sustain the feeding of the animals when their population multiplies? You have to hire some Zoologist and veterinarians to manage your sanctuary, not to mention the laborers who take care of the welfare of the animals, you have to compensate them.

My suggestion is: find first some organizations and institutions that can support and dole out for your wildlife sanctuary. Create some media releases, to inform the people about your intention of preserving the wildlife. Maybe, if the local/national government see this, they may even support you!

Answer 5

You have the right to do anything you want to with your land.  I'm not sure I'd go your way, but that's not for me to say.  

Are U sure that the government isn't mandating that you cannot develop your property due to encroaching on some protected species?  

Don't let the government and the "Greenies" tell you how to use your own land.  But then again, it's your choice.
