Brookfield Homes Endangered Species Habitat Destruction

This video was shot in 2007, before and after Brookfield Homes destroyed Callipe Silverspot Butterfly Habitat by using questionable legal loopholes by the US Fish and Wildlife Service's Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). The video clearly shows viola, the plant required by the Silverspot, to be abundant on the western slopes of "Butterfly Hill" in Brisbane, California, as wall as landmarks such as the HCP sign which ironically indicates it would be a federal crime to disturb this habitat. And yet that land was obviously destroyed a few months later.
