Weeds, Biodiversity and Australia's Land and Water Stewardship Practices

Weed Management in Australia is a high energy industry. It is based on mowing, slashing, burning, mulching, spraying, grazing. Whilst prevention is the obvious first step in weed management, Australia’s horticultural and agricultural industries have offered little help. These industries are  responsible for many plant species being used, sold, distributed and promoted prior to them then taking hold as weeds. These industries also appear to offer herbicides as an acceptable answer to mainstream Australian weed …»»

 
Land and Water Stewardship in the Mt Warning Caldera Region - food for thought

Threats to threatened species on the NE NSW Coast of Australia are increasing, due to inappropriate developments by developers who have a history of disregard for habitat and wildlife.

Radical Psychology : can we afford to live without it?

Psychology and its practice, like all mainstream collective attempts to frame and explore human perceptions, has at it’s fringes ( and sometimes deep within its core)  elements of true genius and insight.  This insight has courage to dare step into the unknown with some rather radical approaches.

“It is good for man To try all changes, progress and corruption, powers, peace and anguish, not to go down the dinosaur’s way Until all his capacities have been explored: and it is good for him To know that his needs and nature are no more changed,in fact, in ten thousand years than the beaks of eagles” Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962) from “The Beaks of Eagles” (from the Jeffers Collection at the Mary Norton Clapp Library) …»»

 

I admit I have not really read much about the 2020 Summit in Canberra this weekend (19th/20th April,2008), but I did see Barry Jones on tv saying that “if the environment is shot, then the economy is shot as well”.
