[QUOTE="JPIVEY, post: 679645, member: 22193"] San Diego County instituted the first Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Program (MSHCP) in the nation about 10 years ago. The MSHCP was supposed to provide "islands of connected habitat" to "preserve a rich diversity of sensitive flora and fauna". By some counts, San Diego County has the highest number of plants, animals, birds, and reptiles in the threatened and endangered species list. The corner stone of the MSHCP is (or was) the Mission Trails Regional Park. This "park" connected pocket of habitat from the mountains to the coast. This same "park" is the corridor that allowed the fire to progress rapidly through residential and industrial areas; claiming untold millions in property damage and human life. While this news report cites eight deaths due to the fire, updated reports have attributed eleven deaths. The grand MSHCP "preserve" is now charred lands. Of note, the fire fighting capacity of San Diego was seriously diminished as many fire fighting unite from San Diego County were sent to fight the equally devastating fires in the Los Angles-Riverside-San Bernardino area. That area received aggressive fire fighting capability to keep the fires out of the draught stricken forests that are full of beetle killed trees. The forests were under a delayed fuels reduction program that has been delayed by the preservationist groups. So, on two fronts, preservation minded actions have resulted in millions of dollars in property damage and loss of human life. When is enough enough? When is reason and sanity going to prevail over the insanity of preservationists? This will make 3 yrs in a row that the Western U.S has suffered loss of life, not to mention property because of their Enviro policies. I agree when is enough, enough [/QUOTE]
