Tragically so much of our natural wildlife is at risk. ‘Dead’ zones along New Brighton Road, Old New Brighton Road, beachfront (no dog beach), South Golden Beach(SGB) to New Brighton is an abundant bush area with roaming domestic animals. Have seen in the past cats along Redgate Road and dogs running across the road just before the South Golden Beach Hall.
When I first came to SGB wildlife abounded with bandicoots, water dragons, lizards of all shapes, sizes and colours. Destruction continues unabated.
Very saddened by the amount of disproportionate attention given to dogs and cats as if there weren’t a problem. Owners of such are in collective self-denial.
Humans and our animals use less than 1.5% of the land on Earth. Move somewhere less comfortable to us, and you will find plenty of wildlife, even Tree Rats.
