Hello All,

Niels, David and Martin are commenting on what seems to me to be the
biggest environmental issue facing us today ( possibly next to
over-population ).

Those wishing to exploit land must accept a primary responsibility for
everything that uses that land before pursuing their own plans to "develop"
it. I am afraid this will recquire a change in human nature as well as
legislative controls.


In the short term, before this social miracle takes place, the acquisition
of properties such as Gluepot (by Birds Australia) may be the way to go
with a view to establishing permanent corridors of habitats throughout the
continent.


A problem of this nature clearly calls for action at the Federal level,
ignoring our artificial boundaries and providing the necessary finance.
