<br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>Most
of us are happy to care about pandas, or dolphins or other charismatic animals.
Many of us are also concerned about the decline of iconic species such as the
River Red Gum, but what about less glamorous animals and plants that make up
our biodiversity? As global resources become more limited we will have to
make some hard decisions about what we care enough about if we are to save it.
Do we prefer to water our rose garden or provide environmental flows for a
native fish we may never see? Will we sacrifice income from mineral wealth to
protect terrestrial plants and animals? Do we care enough about biodiversity to
change our lifestyles to protect it? </span></font><br>
