We Are All Connected - Humans, Animals, Objects

My vision of Minnetonka Boulevard is an area centers on the ecosystem concept – i.e., the idea that every factor in an ecosystem depends on every other factor. We humans are so busy thinking about ourselves and our petty conveniences that we fail to consider that our very survival depends on the ecosystems of which we are a part of to survive, including the natural ecosystem. My vision is that any development that occurs takes into account the biodiversity status of the land (extinction risk, condition of land etc.), and aims to mitigate further biodiversity degradation, including creating "wildlife corridors" that enable species to move freely within and across increasingly fragmented land in our city, across our state, and our nation. We can do this; we can help other species thrive in addition to our own. If we try and make it a priority.
