Philosophical and political views

Fitzsimmons’ ideas on the treatment of issues regarding ecosystem management, specifically endangered species, have created some controversy in environmentally aware citizens and organizations, such as Friends of the Earth. In a book written by Fitzsimmons in 1999, "Defending Illusions: Federal Protection of Ecosystems", he renounces the existence of ecosystems, claiming they are merely “mental constructs.” [ [http://www.foe.org/camps/eco/interior/fitzsimmons.html Friends of the Earth - Campaigns ] ] The Secretary of Interior, Gale Norton, who appointed Fitzsimmons to the Fuel Coordinator of the Department of Interior position feels confident that Fitzsimmons has a “wide range” of experience with environmental issues.
