The Time Is Now To Protect The Rockies by Will Boyd

"NREPA (Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act) is visionary not
only in size, scope and spirit but in that it focuses on the science
of conservation biology ? ecosystems, watersheds and science, not
arbitrary political boundaries and partisan politics."

-Cynthia Sewell, Boise Weekly, Sept. 2004

Based on sound biological and economic science, the Northern Rockies
Ecosystem Protection Act is an ecosystem approach to protecting and
restoring the U.S. Northern Rockies bioregion. When enacted, it
will protect almost 20 million acres of intact wild lands that
provide essential habitat to countless species of plants, animals,
fish, birds and insects, as well as to people who depend on the
wild and majestic Northern Rockies for their economic and spiritual
well-being.
