The Red Goshawk
conversation is interesting but not conservationally enlightening re the
proposed area apparently to be Strip Mined.
Would any findings in any significant way affect the Development and if so how?
Who decides.
Even Rio Tinto can't create thousands of hectares of Red Goshawk habitat ,
or could they ultimately rehabilitate the stripped areas to that end,? and is
that possibility being researched ?
Of course Environmental Studies add, sometimes enormously, to
our ecological knowledge, but how often do the findings effect any change to
the ultimate Development?
(On the plus side they also employ many of our best and brightest.naturalists)
The Governments proposal to reassess the development of a Queensland Ramsar
site into a marina despite a prohibitive EIS is a case in point.
It is a travesty,
Hopefully Birding-aussers are expending email energy toward the Federal and
Queensland Governments on this topic as well as posting on the Red Goshawk.
