Oklahoma is experiencing steady growth. The Muddy Boggy
expansion will be a valuable resource for supporting continued
development of Oklahoma’s oil, gas and pipeline industries, local
government entities, and Native American tribes. Projects in
Oklahoma that may require endangered species credits from Muddy
Boggy include: energy development, pipeline construction,
transportation projects, and electrical transmission lines.
Purchasing endangered species credits promotes industry prosperity
while helping to protect the endangered American Burying Beetle and
its habitat.
Why purchase conservation credits?
"Endangered Species Conservation Banks are protected and
maintained in perpetuity as required for the conservation of a
federally listed endangered species," says Terry McKenzie MSUSA
President. “The burden for this long-term protection and
maintenance is removed from Oklahoma Industry and transferred to
the Muddy Boggy Endangered Species Conservation Bank.”
