Ethical Birding

["Greg & Val Clancy" <>]

Hi Giles,

You are right that landowners in Australia don't 'own' the biodiversity on 
their properties but they do have the ability to control it either in a 
positive or negative way.  I was a little casual with my choice of words but 
the point I was making was that without the support of the landowners 
off-park conservation would be very difficult indeed.  There are many laws 
'protecting' biodiversity on private lands in Australia but the loss of 
biodiversity continues.  The only way the laws will be effective is by 
landowners working voluntarily within them.

Regards

Greg
