Answer 1

Pro-Environment, Pro-Development
by Winston Kears III

I would like to add my voice to the debate sparked by the article "Where Can Hugo Go?" I, too, was
touched by the plight of this endangered turtle. There he was, minding his own business in his own
neck of the woods, when a developer came along and started tearing things up. The fact that the
building in question was to be a shelter for homeless teens meant nothing to Hugo. All he knew was
that things were getting pretty scary. Luckily for him and some of his brothers and sisters, a third-
grade class studying wetlands was able to effect a rescue. Eventually, Hugo et al ended up in a
wildlife rehabilitation center, where they seem to be doing fine. The picture of Hugo enjoying a
strawberry, his favorite food, was priceless! So, all's well that ends well—at least in this case.

Of course, many turtles and other creatures, including the sad case of nesting plovers in my area, are
not as lucky as Hugo, which brings us to the question, How can we protect our precious wildlife while
we allow for a certain amount of reasonable development? After all, human beings are also precious.
Many of us, like the homeless teens, also have urgent needs that must be addressed, sometimes
through the creation of new resources.

What we need, I believe, is better-planned development. More public and private money is needed
both to study the effects of new construction and to alleviate the growing pains that such development
inevitably causes. For each proposed building site, developers should conduct a comprehensive study of
its probable community and environmental impact. They should poll neighbors to get their input on matters.
Most important, an in-depth wilderness survey should be undertaken for tracts of land in and adjacent to
proposed sites. In this way, a plan of action could be made for the wildlife whose homes would be
destroyed. We have many excellent wildlife rehabilitation centers; these must be expanded to fill a
growing need.

Does Hugo know the difference between a cozy, safe, artificial swamp and his old stomping grounds?
I think not. More animals should be given the chance to continue life as safely as Hugo and his family
have.
