Good morning again

Brian Mullis, CEO of Sustainable Travel International 
<http://sustainabletravel.org> has now signed this petition as has Sean Dooley, 
Leighton de Barros (cinematographer who made On a Wing and a Prayer and Hello 
Birdy), and Bo Beolens aka the Fat Birder, and many other concerned birders.  
Thank you all very much for taking the time.

Incidentally the committee member who was threatened, is taking out a 
restraining order.

Denise


Morning all

One of those to sign the Partridge Pigeon petition is Jonathon Franzen, US 
birder, conservationist and writer.  He saw Partridge Pigeon with me when we 
spent some days together in 2011.

Here are the details for anyone interested:

Northern Territory Government: conduct EIS on Partridge Pigeon in the vicinity 
of Berry Springs/Darwin River


The other new development is that a person involved in the sale of the land for 
the “workers’ village"  violently assaulted  one of our four committee members, 
and threatened him to turn into "bait for crab pots”.    The police have his 
statement, but it remains to be seen if they take any action.
