When mankind learns to self regulate its numbers, when it is itself in balance with its surroundings, the insights Peter shares with us may be applicable. But having no faith in our ability to do so I believe tradition and the burdens placed on the planet by the current explosion in population and all its accompanying demands for resources are incompatible. If we don't set aside areas and protect them against the needs of a seemingly endless desire to consume all our natural resources our grandchildren will have very little, and their grandchildren? Nothing? As such I whole heartedly support the proposed expansion and can only pray that mankind will learn that life itself is not a license to take and keep taking at all cost.
