Question ID:PT32 S4 Q8 Passage:Figorian Wildlife Commission:  The development of wetlands in industrialized nations for residential and commercial uses has endangered many species.  To protect wildlife we must regulate such development in Figoria:  future wetland development must be offset by the construction of replacement wetland habitats.  Thus, development would cause no net reduction of wetlands and pose no threat to the species that inhabit them.Figorian Development Commission:  Other nations have flagrantly developed wetlands at the expense of wildlife.  We have conserved.  Since Figorian wetland development might not affect wildlife and is necessary for growth, we should allow development.  We have as much right to govern our own resources as countries that have already put their natural resources to commercial use.
