Such an implication is personal and close therefore usually under­ stood. But on a vastly broader scale around us there is a capital wasting scenario not so obvious to the average person but of immense significance. I once heard an expert say that Australia had lost one-third of its topsoil since European settlement. We can focus on this as it becomes obvious to our very eyes. Gullies of soil erosion, dust storms over our cities, heavy sedimentation in rivers, and salination of soils tell their visible story. But subtler are the implications for biological diversity. Recent material from the World Wide Fund for Nature illustrates the point. The wealth of life on earth and the genes it contains are the end result of some 4 billion years of evolution. It is however only in rel­ atively recent times what we have been gaining knowledge of our gene banks, yet comtemporane- ously an exploding world popula­ tion is eroding those banks at an increasing rate. The Fund mate­ rial suggests that thousands of biologists over several centuries have described fewer than 5 per cent of the world's species.

""" © Simon Cubit Abstract Beginning in the 1970s and extending into the 1990s community groups, academics and cultural heritage managers in Australia noted with concern the expression of a management philosophy which encouraged the devaluing and removal of European cultural heritage in national parks and protected areas. In the 1990s when the phenomenon became the subject of academic and professional analysis, it was attributed to a longstanding separation in Western notions of culture and nature which underpinned a conflict between the ascendant concept of wilderness and the artefacts of human use and association. As the century drew to a close, these expressions of concern began to fade in line with the emergence of new international valuations of the natural world which rejected wilderness in favour of the conservation of biodiversity.

  • Kosciuszko National Park Fire Management Strategydownload
    Kosciuszko National Park Fire Management Strategy 2008–2013 Acknowledgment The Kosciuszko National Park Fire Management Strategy 2008 - 2013 recognises that the Park is within landscape that gives identity to Aboriginal people, who have traditional and historical connections to this land. Aboriginal people are recognised and respected as the original custodians of the lands, waters, animals and plants now within the Park. Their living and spiritual connections with the land through traditional laws, customs and beliefs passed on from their ancestors are also recognised. NPWS will continue to be committed to actively engage traditional custodians and relevant Aboriginal organisations, in protecting managing and interpreting the needs of Kosciuszko National Park. The landscapes of Kosciuszko National Park are the sum total of the interactions between the basic natural elements of water, air, rocks, soils, fire, plants and animals. Each of these living and non-living attributes have been altered by thousands of years of human habitation and use which have left behind layers of human artefacts, memories, stories and meanings. The management of these attributes, and the values bestowed upon them, is a complex task and will not always be based upon a complete understanding of the implications of individual management decisions. A precautionary and adaptive approach to management is required - one that appreciates the interconnective and inseparable nature of the elements of the landscape. (NPWS, 2006c pg 37) Kosciusko National Park Fire Management Strategy 2008 - 2013 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This Fire Management Strategy was prepared by Jamie Molloy with the assistance of staff from the Snowy Mountains and South West Slopes Regions of the National Parks and Wildlife Service, staff from the Threatened Species Unit, the Reserve Conservation Planning & Performance Unit, and the Public Affairs Division of the Department of Environment and Climate Change.

  • Overland Track
    REPORT 2013-2014 OVERLAND TRACK Looking forward on the Overland Track In 2004 a new vision was announced for the Overland Track to address concerns about degradation and overcrowding. The changes included an online booking system and associated track fee, one-way walking during the peak season and a daily cap of 60 walker departures. A vision for the Overland Track guided the changes that were introduced in 2005. The Overland Track will be Tasmania’s premier walking track, known worldwide for showcasing the values of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area and an appreciation of the natural and cultural heritage, demonstrating best practice environmental and management standards, and providing a sustainable quality experience for a range of users.

Les Fiefs de Crouy Walk Report By Lee Marling This report describes a very lovely 20km day walk I did out of the small town of Crouy-sur-Ourcq which is in the Isle de France, the area that surrounds Paris in July last year. I had been given a book of day walks out of Paris from the TopoGuides series. The book is in French of course so that was a bit of a challenge (my last French lesson being about 1974!), however, I made my own translation of the track notes which made sense most of the time and I also followed the walk Flanders Poppies growing wild in the fields on Google Earth so was able to complement the book translation with notes I had made from doing this.
