Talk:Wildlife Conservation Society

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Perhaps oddly, this group has been tapped by the Bush administration to run wildlife reserves in Afghanistan.

Does anyone have any idea why this group was selected?

Probably because it is the most prominent, experienced and successful wildlife conservation organization on Earth and has more expertise and more resources to devote to the task than anyone else. These criteria don't seem "odd" to me.

[edit] The criticism section needed references, and was more of a political argument than a statement of fact

[edit] Hijacked by Fordham

Why on earth is more than half of this article taken up by a Fordham press release? The new degree program is worth mentioning, but probably warrants no more than a few sentences. It seems an enthusiastic Ram has decided to overwhelm the article on all of WCS's great work with a discussion of just one small part of that work. I'd cut the section down to size myself but I am not an expert in any of the relevant fields and would prefer that someone with more expertise decide what should go and what should remain.
