Saving the Land from the People

Many summers ago I worked for the Nature Conservancy. They work to "preserve the plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive." That sounds pretty good, right?

One of the ways they get people to help is to donate land. In exchange for helping to save diversity of life on Earth you get a nice tax break. Well it seems that some people don't like this system. Yup, you guessed it. Wally thinks the system is "rife with abuse." I wish the story had more about what Wally was saying because I thought all Republicans liked tax breaks. Maybe I'll send a him a request for clarification.
