The photo of the Central Valley immediately had me thinking about how Property Rights and land use drive the parcelization of land into smaller and smaller units. All this is a back drop to the ever expanding urban glacier. Water and wetlands are two of our most precious natural resources. God help us!
I hope someone is currently studying the reincarnation of Tulare Lake (not mentioned in your piece because it had ceased to exist when you wrote it!) and its effect on birds. Tulare was once the biggest lake in the country after the Great Lakes. Irrigation draw destroyed it.
Every concerned person should educate themselves on propaganda techniques.
I hope that the incentives work.
