Flatwoods Salamander: Do you believe a highway project should be affected by an animal on the endangered species list?
Comment: Destroy the small creature means you have destroyed the habitat.
Might as well live in Destin then. from Pens., Fl 32506 by Anna M.
Comment: The overall health of any community can be assessed by the overall health of the surrounding ecosystems. The higher biodiversity of an area the healthier it will be. You will never know the full impact a species has on an ecosystem until it is gone. from Morganton, NC by Adam

Comment: Our home was bought by the State of Alabama to create a four lane highway from Hwy55 to I65. This process was held up for months due to Salamander's. I think that before a project is ever started and people's lives put on hold, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service should tromp thru the woods and catch whatever runs by and move them. Then whatever wildlife that is left will move on its own due to all the construction. from Georgiana, Ala by Theresa
Comment: How about adding more stoplights thus reducing the number of accidents on highway 98 and keeping the flow of traffic going. This is a problem near Navarre. I hear accidents almost every day out here. (though, lately, it's calmed down the accidents) from Navarre by Rob
Comment: This is not just "our planet" as the gentleman you interviewed stated. Unfortunately, the attitude that this is our world and everything else is here only to serve us is in large part the reason we are now facing the earth changes that may lead to the end of living our lives the way we have all become so accustomed to. from Cantonment, Fl by Patty
Comment: Every species that becomes extinct effects the ecological balance of this earth and our very existance. from Gulf Breeze, FL by Jackie
Comment: No. That is just an excuse to halt progress from people who don't like change. What about the species called "man"? from Pace, FL by Dee
Comment: I don't care if there are cars piling up on top of each other, The salamander should come first. The animals were here first. Congrats on getting your idiot's degree, all of you guys in Eglin. I seriously hope this shows up on the news. To think that a twelve year old(me) has more concern for the environment than at leats a thousand fully grown adult sickens me. from Florida by Alana
Comment: The road is necessary. from Navarre, FL by Lenore
Comment: These ponds are a perfect place for a terrorist camp. Lizard lovers would not allow and attack for fear of harming to sacred lizard. from FORT WALTON BEACH,FL by A.C.
Comment: Hey, guess what! The most magnificant animal that ever existed, the dinosaur, became extinct. Did the world come to and end? I don't think so. from FORT WALTON BEACH,FL by A.C.
Comment: uhhh ok...well, if that is the case, couldn't they just go around it or have a raised roadway over the habitat? there are alot of options...just look around for new ideals...internationally if you have to... from P'COLA by H
Comment: Humans do not own this planet; we share it. Show our children what we preach to them - compromise and considering the needs of other living beings are beneficial on every level of life and living.
News flash: We are capable of complex thinking and problem-solving without destroying, killing, or creating choas. from Crestview, FL by Kymberly
Comment: I'm sure there would still be plenty of salimander habitat left after this project. This is rediculous.
from Navarre, FL by Linn
Comment: Pretty soon, we're going to have some "kook" group start a drive to stop breathing air twenty-four hours a day, so the animals will have enough air to breathe. Enough is enough, if people need a cause to get behind, how about survival of the human race? from Mary Esther, FL. by Tom
