Patriots: Defending Australia's Natural HeritageFor more than sixty years a small group of dedicated people have been fighting to defend Auatralia's unique wildlife. Those conservationits battle indifference and hostility from government and developers, whose actions are responsible for the decisions for the decimation of spectaculaar natural beauty. Although much has been lost, the conservation movement has won great victories and secured the preservation of some of the world's most pristine, and ecologically important landscapes. |
