Quick excerpt...

The world's precious few remaining large forests are fragmenting at an alarming rate, and the degradation in Canada leads the world, a new analysis shows.

The degradation of such pristine "intact" forests threatens species such as Canada's woodland caribou and Asia's tigers that rely on huge unbroken expanses of natural ecosystems in order to survive, said Nigel Sizer, global director of forest programs with the World Resources Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based research institute focused on resource sustainability.

You leave that garden of yours just the way it is Kaere!

[Kaere]

Thank you Rogue! It just might all come down to me, you never know...

I suspect it will Ka. All it takes is one person starting the mission.

I think there are several parts to the problem here, not the least of which are 1) how many families are dependent on our resources for their livelihood and 2) the impression that because there is abundance here, it is limitless.

[Rogue]

Australia suffers from the same issues. The resources and the mining of them decide the success or failure of our living standards.

[Rockhopper]

Yeah Rogue. The Ockers are digging up their land and shipping off overseas.

NZ is pushing dairy and the consequence is degrading the environment with cow pooh in our rivers.

Tim.
