Qld Eastern Bristlebird Breeding Program Axed

[Carl Clifford <>]

Dear All,

On the ABC's 7.30 Report tonight there was an interesting item. The  
Queensland, government in it's wisdom, has cancelled it's captive  
breeding program for the Eastern Bristlebird. It seems that the poor  
old Bristlebird is a victim of the global economic downturn. The Qld  
Government's line is that it is better to concentrate on habitat  
conservation and let the BB fend for itself. John Young appeared on  
the segment and spoke out strongly against the cancellation.
The segment can be viewed at http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/
