Swiss-born billionaire Wyss puts $35M into US forest conservation project

Philanthropist Hansjorg Wyss grew up in Switzerland and now spends the bulk of his time outside Philadelphia, but it is the wild landscapes of the Rocky Mountains where he could leave his most lasting mark.

[HAPPY CAMPER]

Another case of the GREATNESS of AMERICA and how the FOREIGN MARKET is PROFITING on our STUPIDITY and WEAKNESS . WAKE UP AMERICA before its TOO LATE !!!!!

[morons united]

35 millions for America 35 billions for foreign aid. America is still short by 34,965,000,000. Just pluggin a finger on a leaky dam.

[the Messiah]

The global warmists push conservation of forests which is about the only truth in any of their schemes.

[Wartime]

That rich bastard.

It's not his money, it belongs to the democRATS. And they need it to buy votes.

The nerve of succesful people, thinking that this was still America.

The New Harlem Mexican States of Progressive Whacked DemocRATIC Thievery and Ruin need to step up pronto, and redistribute this SOB's wealth.

[WOODCHUCK]

Better he spent cash in HATI, DAR FOUR,and where human misery lives!For you see HUMANS are the Problem ,That these loons Preach!!.Growng Trees for LOGGERS??..The TREE Frogs??.but TREE HUGGING GREEN FREAKS can never see past their own Grave Head Stone..HERE LIES A GREEN TREE HUGGER!..For The NITWITS to gaze upon!!..AHs all of them with Gore as their leader!!...Hope the MAGGOTS Recycle his Ass!!

[just candid]

This Gent is putting his money where his mouth is. Some people send big $ away to timbuck-two, where by making people live longer and incressing birth rates they only make problems worse. Thank you, MR.Hansjorg!
PS/ That bold faced lie told about cattleman being good stewards of the land is for the most part pure bull. As a rule they've gotten a free or very low cost ride. Most of them have over used & abused the land. By doing that they raped taxpayers & lived up there pretty high on the hog.

[too droll to troll]

Like Nestle buying rights to Great Lakes waters. Piss off and apply your money to Euro issues!

[Ginny Olive-Hog]

How do all these damned socialists get to be Billionaires anyway? Shouldn't they be giving all their money to the IRS?

[FMJ Load]

That's nice, but this is just one problem to many fixable problems. We need to get china out of our water supplies, sucking us dry. We need to put more pressure on BP who is saying screw you America, because obama has BP ceo's in our govt. Incharge of the energy dept. They just choked off the warm water from the gulf reaching the north atlantic. This is a major deal. I'm for business to create jobs but I'm against the big business and govt. selling out our natural resources. Get china off our coast line drilling our oil. The people of America have common sense and know the answer when we hear the problem. Our govt can't figure anything out because they live for the all mighty dollar. Stand up against our idiots who run this country!!!!!!!!!!

Grützi miteinander, Hansjorg

Viele Danke!

I look at the posts above, and see 'free-market supporters' shitting on a 'free-market WINNER' giving a miniscule portion of his personal fortune, acquired in the 'free-market', towards preserving lands that allow wild animals more grazing lands... so these 'free-market supporters' can go HUNT THEM DOWN, and their words make it apparent that they are anything BUT grateful!

Talk about American conservatives' hypocrisy!

One project is for money and to exploit our recorces, the other is to save and protect plus keeps most of the money here. May I ring your bell, dingdong?

[The laughing liberal]

I wonder if he'll put is a 20,000 Sq Ft home in his forest that uses 15X the energy of other homes like Al Gore's?

Other than that, who really cares? Logging has come a long, long way and they replant the forests so this is hardly a big deal for the environment. He now has his own Hunting Reserve.

[Jonny Boy Central Coast]

I LOVE how you Fright Wing idiots don't even read the articles yet choose to comment, lol

PERHAPS try to be a little informed?

Hint IF you read the article you'd be bitching about something else AND not making STOOPID comments, lol

[Captain Yesterday]

Bravo, well-done! Nice to see a rich man putting his money where his beliefs are, and supporting the natural world.

No surprise that a few noisy Righties are attacking him, that's what usually happens when the wealthy are seen as "traitors to their class" by this sort of poster. Look at their brutal, slanderous, and dishonest attacks on George Soros, for example.

Sick. But the positives here far outweigh these feeble negatives.

I wonder if you'll ever get a clue and stop being so blazing stupid?

My guess is that you won't...

Global warming is a fact, and more trees can only be a good thing in regard to excessive CO2. Not sure what "schemes" you're babbling about, but blaming scientific fact on partisan politics is kinda loony.

For the TOOLS on the Fright Wing of Society:

"The deal is one of the largest private conservation purchases in U.S. history.... also involved $65 million from the state of Montana and $250 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture"

"While Wyss has a daughter in neighbouring Wyoming, he has never lived in the region. And the land he helped buy in the recent Montana transaction will not become a private estate."

Uniformed Fright Wingers, lol

It's all in the article here:

'UNIFORMED' AND uninformed: the jack-booted thugs of the Fright Wing are lock-stepping to the Fourth Reich... right here in the US of A!

They are 'uniformed' also, in the sense of 'message control' put out every night by the Fright Wing 'brainwashers' on *those* networks...

Most American conservatives appreciate the effort. It's the liberals that are whining about where the money goes. You're wrong.
