: No, only that "ownership" should be shared more equitably

It is impossible on any equitable basis to determine which portions of 
"nature" should be "shared" between mankind and "the earth."  Far better 
for those who wish to preserve nature to simply own it.

Such as, for example, buying public timberland.

Logging companies do not like this concept ... they know that if it came
to it, the environmental groups could out-buy them easily.  If need be,
env'tal groups could hold telethons and raise tons of money, on top of
what they already have.

Logging companies are depending on the govt-teat.  The public lands
concept is encouraging them to use slash-n-burn techniques, which
endangers habitats.  Env'tal groups need to find better ways of cutting 
that off.  Private ownership is one such way.
