The changes put forth in the review of this document by the PC Government is appalling. We're at the point in our civilization where if we do not protect our planet and conserve biodiversity, the planet will no longer be able to sustain us. There is infrastructure that already exists to be able to be manipulated to suit the needs of industrial growth. Mining and exploration is still essential for life on earth, but this still should not be done at the risk of harming endangered species and their habitat. The loss and fragmentation of natural habitat is detrimental in the battle we are fighting to keep our species as humans prospering, and this can't be done without supporting a natural environment. The key to a thriving ecosystem is biodiversity, and we cannot do this without ensuring our ENDANGERED species do not become extirpated.
