Congress, Largest Landlord in the U.S.
The article states that the land will be an area where man does not invade, or ruin, or whatever terminology one chooses. So there should be no need for billions of dollars to be put towards this, but why does there need to be billions of dollars set aside for this? I suppose for buying the land they would have to, but doesn't government just seize land anyway? Along those lines, if there is not to be humans on this land, why do livestock need to be protected from wolves of other wildlife? Isn't that just nature running its course?

This is a definite break from recent years of policy towards wildlife in this country. It is good to see that Congress from time to time will step back and put the environment in front of capitalism. Without legislation such as this many of our wildlife refuges would be gone in this country. The biodiversity and the native species of our country are just as much a part of America's identity as anything else we hold dear.
