Regarding the Woodlands NCAT saga, in an area recognised by Byron Shire Council as home to vulnerable and threatened species, I wonder how the native wildlife feels about its territory being invaded by humans?
Land has been cleared, trees felled, hard road surfacing installed, cars constantly drive in and out and machines and motors are regularly employed, all so people can build houses in what Ms Armytage herself acknowledges is ‘an environmentally sensitive corridor’.
We humans seem to have a blind spot when it comes to regarding our own impact.
