URGENT - Cockatoos need you - 20 July

Could you please help to make up a massive presence outside UWA at the corner of Stirling Highway and Winthrop Avenue Tuesday 20 July at 8am

WE NEED TO SHOW OUR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE DECISION OF THE MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT DONNA FARAGHER ON APPROVING THE UWA HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN UNDERWODD AVENUE BUSHLAND- 300 HOUSES.

A giant flock of people along Stirling Highway standing up for the survival of our cockatoos and bushland will impress on the WA Government and the University that we will not let this bushland, and other bushlands and forests go.

COCKATOOS NEED YOU

Please join the CCWA, WWF and may others Tuesday morning at the UWA to show our disapproval for the approval of over half of Underwood Bushland to be developed.

WWF-Australia policy officer Katherine Howard stated: “This patch of bush has become a Perth icon. It’s a regionally significant Bush Forever site and the biodiversity it supports is of global importance."

“It was just such a shocking decision,” Friends of Underwood Bushland convener Margaret Owen said. “Up to 300 Carnaby’s cockatoos rely on the Underwood Avenue bush for feeding habitat, and there are at least four important indigenous heritage sites in this bushland.”

We need massive numbers to show the government and UWA what we want and what is right.
