Dear John & Birding Aus
It is clear that all development probably endangers some aspect of wildlife. I
recall seeing some beautiful birds near Wakerstroom. One point is clear though
that because of the huge energy loss in each step
up the trophic levels of any ecosystem it takes a lot more land to get 1kj of
energy via meat than it does via plant matter. On top of this there are the
individual cases such as the one that John points out and
we all need to be careful if we want our grand children to enjoy the diversity
of wildlife that we currently enjoy.
Look, and think about and enjoy
Mike
