The ongoing carnage of indigenous native vegetation and wildlife in Bundanoon is typical of the ignorant colonial mindset clear fell of yesteryear, and is currently widespread throughout the Southern Highlands, the State of New South Wales [and Australia, even the World]. Higher density metro suburban development with high level clear fell denudation is the current plan for regional areas, destroying country villages, small towns, regardless of endangered ecology, wildlife, tourism, historical and natural heritage or the healthier living such beautiful natural green places provide.
At a time when the environment should be at the top of the agenda with climate change and loss of species at critical point, it is business [wanton destruction] as usual courtesy of the limited mindset of developers, planners and politicians, unable to be innovative and focus on the bigger picture, not just the dollar in the pockets of a few. In fact our whole planet is being compromised to the point of not being able to support us, just to satisfy the short term excess of a powerful few.
Legislation to protect native habitat and wildlife [much listed as endangered or critically endangered] is being bypassed with alarming ease – a pathetic joke, a front, a façade of pretence.

The future of our planet – the imminent catastrophe this short sighted denudation is fuelling that awaits this and coming generations – is brushed aside as if global warming is just a minor inconvenience. The true consequences of global warming, altered weather patterns, loss of species and their connection to denudation are not being told.
