Coming Sunday | Expect more ‘noise’ on Cockpit Country, Mr Morgan

-

A group of environmen­talists and civil-society lobbyists respond to Robert Morgan’s defence of the Government’s proposed Cockpit Country Protected Area (CCPA) boundary, which they say does not protect all historical­ly, ecological­ly, and culturally important sites.

They write: “If the undergroun­d flows in the southeaste­rn region of Cockpit Country merit protection – as evidenced by their inclusion in the CCPA designated boundary – why didn’t their continuati­on through the northeast to their emergence at Dornock Head Rising and Rio Bueno warrant the same treatment?”
