Humans have stuffed up the environment and are
continuing to do so. The destruction & fragmentation of habitats, the
spreading of pest animals and invasive weeds (on the best evidence we have
at present) are impacting on the native species which are the great facination
of people who contribute to these two chat lines.
We can wear hair shirts, confess our sins or do
something about the threats, even in the face of incomplete
knowledge.
Chat line members might like to read
Birds Australia's "The State of Australia's Birds 2008", which was launched last
Wednesday, but circulated earlier to BA members.
