I couldn't access the story, but did it mention anything about the projected 
cost and duration of the exercise?

That's probably because the URL has wrapped on to two lines. Try again 
and when it is up in the address line, type in "912.jp" and click on Go.

No. Can you put a price on saving a native species from extinction?

Given that resources are not infinite, and that there are competing demands 
for the funds available to or for conservation I'd have to say 'yes' to 
that.

It's obviously longer-term and so potentially more expensive to create a 
buffer zone like this than to, for example, plan a programme of 
extermination like the hedgehogs and mink in the Outer Hebrides. 
However, it looks as if there is an ample volunteer force available.
