I'm cynical but passionate and optimistic about the future. I'm into landscape fauna ecology especially in the arid and semi arid zones. 😁 PS not a huge fan of cat and puppy photos.

I am not sure where Ken Henry gets his ideas, but the legislation does NOT recognise the importance of the #environment and has #ENTRENCHED the #STATUS_QUO. We will NOT see any major changes in the trends in #biodiversity_loss, #land_clearing, #water_misuse, #emissions due to the #legislation.
