We're Losing, Not Gaining Wetlands
- "The [Bush] administration now claims to have reversed the government's estimated loss of 58,500 acres of wetlands annually. But the National Wildlife Federation says the nation is still losing 130,000 acres of wetlands a year. The group said the administration is including in its count of wetlands "open water systems" such as new lakes, reservoirs and golf and stormwater retention ponds." - excerpt from the ENN article.
