Letter in today's AFR on OBP

["Graham Buchan" <>]

Evan,

I think you're right. It would probably make more sense to see if the
windfarm proponents (Wind Power Pty Ltd) would be willing to fund a breeding
programmme in the Tasmanian breeding location over a number of years such
that they would release a minimum number of birds into existing populations.
They would gain points with all parties and genuinely assist a threatened
species. $200k p.a. over 5 years on active assistance is better than $1m
over 10 years measuring numbers of a rare bird!

How about it?

Yours in true green,

Graham Buchan
