Thankfully, there are many people out there who believe that the interests
of protecting this bird should be paramount.

Several people on this forum are doing precisely what they are accusing
others of.
Mick Brasher was right to point out Russell Woodford's advice: "Can I please
make the point that dragging up old issues that have been
debated, argued and fought over is not likely to resolve them any better
this time around.""
Yet that is what Mick, Ian and others are doing in spades. They go further
by making slurs again "certain people" being "blacklisted by tour operators"
without having either the courage to name those certain people or providing
any evidence to support that assertion.
It is perfectly reasonable for people to raise legitimate concerns
surrounding John Young's finding, including the future of the bird's habitat
and the distribution of its sound recording. People should be able to raise
those concerns without being subject to this sort of nonsense.
John's achievement was wonderful but some folk are forgetting something
fundamental: the Night Parrot and its future does not belong to him nor any
individual.
