$1 million victory for red-legged frog / Developer fined, must turn Mt. Diablo-area hunting land into refuge

This is great that the developer who blatantly violated the Endangered Species Act by having his workers destroy a habitat of the California Red-Legged Frog is being punished. But look at it this way... he's selling homes for half a million a pop, and the fine was a million dollars. On the other hand, he had to turn a private patch of land (640 acres) into a preserve for the frog; that seems like an appropriate punishmen.
