Chris Boyer's aerial photo is worth a thousand words. It's impossible to ignore the obliteration of once-exceptional wildlife habitat that existed in Big Sky, Montana before industrial strength outdoor recreation and billions of dollars' worth of real estate were carved into the valley enwrapping Lone Mountain. Steadily, wildlife have been displaced in Big Sky and it is exacting huge negative spillover effects on adjacent public lands. Today, only upper class people can afford to buy property in Big Sky. Were a real-estate transfer tax in place, a large sum could be generated for conservation to buffer nature from the resort community's ballooning negative impacts. Photo courtesy Christopher Boyer.
