All the more reason to have Wildlife Refuges, even if we don't know what specifically we're giving refuge to. (And, no, I don't end sentences a preposition with. Much.)
Sometimes generous, protective, conservative actions need to be taken as a trust for the future (or even for the present). Not everything is a budged line item.
