| 21. | POLICY ON WILD PLANTS AND
ANIMALS |
||
| ISSUE | Various environmental laws
passed in recent years have recognized the rights of particular wild
species to survival, but no general enunciation of these rights for all
plants and animals has been recognized. |
||
| The F.W.O.C. feels that in
considering our total environment, man should not relate all things to
himself and to his benefit, but we must recognize that we depend on the
total environment of Spaceship Earth and all its creatures and
plants. All living things are part of our environment, and
deserve to be considered in any modification of that environment,
whether in building houses, dams, highways, or any of the other
man-made changes that affect the land and water around us. |
|||
| WHAT TO DO |
The Federation of Western
Outdoor Clubs urges its members to work with other organizations to
influence government at all levels to pursue policies that respect the
right of survival of all plants and animals, their contributions to our
environment, and the benefits they bestow on succeeding human
generations. |
