Today, October 4th, is World Animal Habitat Day.
If ever there was a place rich in habitat, it’s Bimblebox Nature Refuge.
Carefully conserved and nurtured over more than 20 years, we consider
it irreplaceable, hence we do not consider offsets a solution.
We are approaching three years since The Bimblebox Alliance and Youth
Verdict first lodged objections to Waratah Coal/Clive Palmer’s Galilee
Coal Project’s applications. EDO ran what we thought was a compelling
case, the Land Court ruled to retain our Human Rights objections, made
site visits to Bimblebox and to the Torres Strait and Cairns, taking
on-country evidence there for the first time.
After weeks of expert witness hearings in court in mid-2022, we now
await President Kingham’s recommendations, which may occur by the end
of the year… or not.
We hope this video,’Irreplaceable,’ will remind you of what is at
stake. Please share widely.
Thank you
The Bimblebox Alliance Committee
It’s a lovely short concise video. I have shared it with others who care about saving whats left of our native environment. It saddens me what humans are doing to our country. Thankyou for your dedication to save this very special area.
I hope to get there one day on future travels.
