VEGETATION LOSS (Vegetation Clearance: Position Statement by The Ecological Society of Australia)

Clear - Latin clarus - bright, clear, manifest, distinct, with later meanings of "free from encumberance (nautical) and land cleared of wood is from 1683.

Some commonly sustained myths exist, even today.

• to support high production quick yeilding monoculture
• to exploit any remaining habitat or vegetation community, when surrounding lands are already under stress/severe stress
• to clear, then clear again, then again until little seedbank is left within the locality or region
• to alter water courses and flows by many small ways or larger ways through development, infrastructure and agricultural means

These things, and many more, are sympomatic of large components of Australian Society in the last two hundred years or so. These things are well entrenched in many of our memories, daily practices, belief systems and national image.

Salted water tables, acid sulphate soils exposure. Roadside, watercourses and other corridors continually, little by little, being cleared and stripped or sprayed.

This is what habitat clearance is. This is what habitat destruction is.

And until sustainable development is clearly understood in our urban / rural mythologies and self image, then we are all a little in the dark before that dawn when everything becomes a little clearer!

There is plenty of land and water, in the world for everyone to share. There is abundance of food and crops and animals all over the world, and if everyone shared, then very few would starve.
