That's okay, except that all of you discussed urban growth and urban sprawl in the area, so there's going to be landscape change going on no matter what. In Alberta right now, in some of the fast-growing cities...Alberta has a major wetland mitigation program whereby real estate developers are required to create a fund that is now going into farmers' pockets to recreate wetlands.
I agree with you that Carolinian forests are extremely difficult to recreate. Wetlands are easy to bring back; they really are. Of course, I'm familiar with the prairie wetlands situation. Don't you think there's more hope for the idea of habitat banking, given that this urban development is going to happen regardless?
