As we worked on the state wildlife action plan, we took the approach of identifying large unfragmented areas of habitat. It's important for wildlife to be able to move across the landscape relatively unimpeded. Matt Elliot, Chief of Wildlife Conservation, Georgia DNR
If we don't protect the environment then we can’t protect its natural services that are essential to our survival. Michael "Pic" Petelle, Member, Environment Georgia
