NABA Butterfly Park

[Michael Gochfeld]

Since the vast majority of investment, industrial or other construction,
destroys habitat I think we should applaud vision that finds a way to make
good things profitable.  There should be just as many incentives for
protecting or creating habitat as there are for destroying it.
