The following appears in a letter to the editor for the West Lansburg News:
"The tufted groundhog lives in the coastal wetlands of West Lansburg. Ancient records suggest that the tufted groundhog once numbered in the millions. Since they were declared a wildlife sanctuary in 2004, development along the coastal wetlands has been prohibited. Now local development interests are lobbying for the West Lansburg council to allow an access road to be built along the edge of wetlands. Neighboring Eastern Carpenteria, which had a similar sanctuary, has seen its sea otter population decline since the repeal of its sanctuary status in 1978.

There can till be live safely as there are sheltered safely underground. Here survey claims that there were numbered millions. So decrease in number of groundhogs can have different reasons like new species might have added to food chain which is depend omn groudhogs. Else it might be other environmental effect.

So decrease in sea otter population might be because increase in water temperature due to global warming or it might be because of inceased water pollution. So comparing it with other sanctury result in vague results.

Also, example given here is of 1970's which could not be applicable on current situation as awareness among the people to save wildlife has now increased. Council can given permission to build the road with proper
