Description: PROPOSAL: The U.N. is to enable the protection, and welfare of wildlife refuges located in all member nations. Every nation if it ever decides to erect such an enterprise will be protected by the U.N. from having that area developed or exploited either from a member country or itself.

ACKNOWLEDGING: Certain member nations may not wish to erect a wildlife refuge, which is completely at their own discretion; therefore they will be able to submit selected endangered species to another member country who is willing to harbor them in their own wildlife refuges via the U.N. International Wildlife Harbor Program. These animals would also be protected from any member nation who harbored an animal from another nation from using that animal for personal profit and gain

Effects of this proposal:

Article 1. To protect all member nations’ wildlife refuges from over development, and irrational exuberance in the pursuit of resources, or personal gain.

Article 2. To allow other member nations the ability to preserve their wildlife without the need to build wildlife refuges via the generous donations of willing member nations.

Article 3, In the interest of preserving wildlife, current wildlife refuges will be protected by the U.N. even if a succeeding government of the country in which the refuge resides wishes to destroy the refuge for personal profit and gain.

Article 4. Allows member countries to decide which wildlife species it wishes to harbor within the refuge at any given time. Any ADDITIONS to this list would be brought to the UN for approval. Subtractions to the list are illegal, and can include economic sanctions brought upon the host country.

Article 5. Creates the UN International Wildlife Harbor Commitee, whose intention is to oversee the sharing, and protection of donated wildlife to all wildlife refuges.

Article 6. Donated wildlife which are harbored in other nations are protected under the UN. No member nation who willingly harbored wildlife from another nation is allowed to use that animal for personal profit, or gain. This includes but is not limited to: Food, Labor, Performance Acts, etc.

I am here urging all nations who can approve of proposals to approve of this one.

This is a matter that has been exploited in the past, and we must protect those who are unwilling to speak for themselves. It is time we adopt such a proposal for the good of all member nations.
