- Environmental Priorities for Commonwealth
of Virginia
The natural heritage of Virginia is in peril. More than 900 species
of our native animals
are declining in numbers as a result of habitat destruction and the
increasing pollution of air and water resources. Decisive steps to
save our commonwealth are needed, but Virginia ranks last in the nation
in expenditures for environmental protection. Recently. a group of
about ninety citizens, representing seventeen organizations, met at
the University of Virginia to discuss problems and solutions. We recommend
the following environmental
priorities (PDF document) to our governor, legislature, and the
people of Virginia.
