The continued existence of wildlife and wilderness is important to the quality of life of humans.

For example, in my district there are visitors from all over the world who are drawn to our beautiful beaches, recreational lakes, habitat wildlife preserves and golf courses.

Dams have harmed our wildlife and made rivers less useful for recreation.
