Why can't we create more wildlife reserves if we have room for huge oil fields?

Bottom line, the wildlife don't stand on the steps of congress and take representatives out for fancy dinners.





If it's in their face all the time, the representatives will be more apt to vote for it, but wildlife doesn't have this kind of funding, so it gets pushed to the back burner.Why can't we create more wildlife reserves if we have room for huge oil fields?
BECAUSE IT IS NOT PROFITABLE. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE ONLY WAY THAT


WE CAN DO ANYTHING , WRONG OR RIGHT, ON THIS PLANET IS IF WE MAKE MONEY DOING IT..Why can't we create more wildlife reserves if we have room for huge oil fields?
Why can't we move the wildlife in places where there is oil so we can tap the oil? Like the caribou, lets move em to Montana.
Why cant we have both. The Alaskan pipeline has had no effect on the wildlife. They built it that way.





The real problem is space and land. Where you going to reserve the land? I have 200 acres of land so you can consider that a wildlife reserve. Even though yes, I hunt on it. I am providing the animals habitat free of environmental issues.
Depends on how much room you are talking about. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in Alaska is approximately 30,000 square miles of wildlife reserve. To put it into perspective, there are 9 United States smaller in size than ANWR.





Even if you were to develop an oil field the size of Rhode Island, you would still have room in the wildlife refuge for Delaware, Connecticut, Hawaii, New Jersey and Massachusetts.





Given the amount of land set aside, I do not think we should begrudge the State of Alaska in setting aside a few thousand acres of land for energy development.
