Re: Fuel Reduction in the Australian Bush

ATTENTION ALL VICTORIAN (AND AUSTRALIAN)
BIRDERS:

The Victorian Government has recently
been addressing an interim report prepared after an inquiry into last years
Bushfires in Victoria.

The main strategy that seems to be proposed
in managing bushfire risk, is fuel reduction on crown and public lands,
and a request for land owners to do similar.

I see this decision as potentially devestating
to critical wildlife habitats, and fairly unaffective in the general scheme
of things. 

This is a BIG issue affecting  birds
and australian wildlife in general and i want to urge all birders to voice
there concerns to the Victorian Government.

I hope this email address is current:

Please let your knowledge and concern
be known.
