Join "Share El Paso" with Native Plants and Wildlife on facebook

If the world we live in becomes unsafe for wildlife it certainly will not be a very safe place for people.  That’s why we need to learn to share our world with nature.  We simply cannot maintain a healthy environment any other way. 

The other day I was taking pictures of the new housing developments in northwest El Paso when I took the picture you see above showing a recently bulldozed area just outside Franklin Mountains State Park. As you can see, there is little in this picture besides dirt. The developer could have saved some of the natural vegetation and the related wildlife associated with it, but that was not the case. Instead of sharing El Paso with the living things that have been growing and living here for thousands of years, it was decided it was best to bulldoze the entire landscape.

This picture reminded me of three words I have been saying over the past few years - "Share El Paso."   Many people do not value conserving land and sharing it with native plants and wildlife.  Sharing means just that, whenever we do something like build new houses, strip malls, schools or factories, we should save wildlife corridors in the immediate area and connect them with other wildlife corridors so that wildlife have a chance to survive.

I hope you will join this facebook group and encourage others to join you. Sharing El Paso with nature is simply the right thing to do. Before we can share we have to know who we need to share El Paso with. This facebook group is designed to help.
