Clearing permits are only as good as their ecological surveys. And what happens when those surveys miss threatened species?
Dr Malcolm Lindsay tells Jason and Kat about the bilbies found on land about to be bulldozed by WA Government Agency, Landcorp.
Environs Kimberley called for Landcorp to halt clearing until a solution could be found, but Lancorp refused to meet with the environmental organisation.
The fate of the bilbies is uncertain, and the validity of all surveys on the region is under question. The rare Cable Beach Ghost Gum was also missed by recent surveys.
Aired on Radio Goolarri, May 4th 2015.
