OK one last post for the day, but important one for all wildlife parks worldwide.  When it comes down to it animals need alot of room and they do not stay put.  We have set up these amazing and sometimes very large parks in almost every country, however, we are beginning to realize that sometimes that is not enough.  We need to link these parks somehow when we can, as well as linking in the oceans the national marine sanctuaries or marine protected areas.

This article and the research herein concludes that we must put buffer areas around many of our wildlife habitats, especially in high density population areas where modern development bump right up on the edges of the woods and set aside areas.   How much is enough and how we can really do this remains a very challenging problem set.
