After the Future: Australia's New Extinction Crisis
Author(s): Tim Flannery
When it comes to the natural world, Australia is home to a disproportionately large share of the world's riches. That means we Australians are caretakers of a unique natural heritage in a land which tolerates few mistakes. So how are we doing?last State governments have begun allowing mining and other incursions into national parks. Politically, conservationists and conservatives are at odds. This essay is both a wake-up call to the consequences of unrestrained development, and an examination of the underlying thinking - the view of the natural world that sees it as something either to be put to use or traded off. By contrast, Flannery asks, how might we best understand, conserve and co-exist with the natural world?
