Remember all that hoopla about the spotted owls?
The Freak-os were all up in arms about their habitat being destroyed by logging.

Turns out that their habit was actually improved by the logging.
spotted owls like little spots of trees and open spaces - like clearcuts and fire roads - to hunt in.

They found the owls in the woodlots because they WERE woodlots. They could not find them else where not because they were endangered or missing but because they never lived there!!!

Ever wonder if the plover population is at the correct level and that if it increased it might cause problems elsewhere in the foodweb?

bitch bitch bitch.
