Appalling Cull Position on Dingoes

18/12/2009

0 Comments

 
Friends of the Earth is appalled at the State Governments position to cull the dingos of Fraser Island, one of the last remaining full blood populations.

Since European colonisation dingos have been hunted and killed to allow the expansion of unsustainable cattle and range land farming across Australia's delicate ecosystems, pushing full blooded dingoes into extinction.

Friends of the Earth rejects the prioritisation of tourism and human utilisation of our national parks, particularly plans to open Queensland National Parks to private eco-tourism resorts, over wildlife and request the State to review culling practices to ensure ongoing survival of the species.

"The Department of Environment and Resource Management and Minister Kate Jones must review State position towards the dingo. Dingoes should receive the same treatment as wombats and koalas with relocation programs and plans that maintain the species".

"The current state of the dingo of Fraser Island is terrible, closed off from their hunting grounds and food sources, they are clearly suffering. Further talk of culling is appalling"

Further Friends of the Earth request the State Government to work in partnership with local Indigenous Traditional Owners to develop a long term management plan of Fraser Island that will ensure the National Park is protected from over use, protect the natural wildlife, and stop four wheel drive beach access.

UN climate talks; Friends of the Earth suspended from the conference

15/12/2009

Copenhagen, Denmark, Friends of the Earth International condemned the exclusion of critical civil society voices -- including Friends of the Earth -- from the UN Climate conference.

Friends of the Earth International denounced today an attempt by the Danish Prime Minister to derail the U.N negotiations in favour of rich countries and condemned the exclusion of critical civil society voices -- including Friends of the Earth -- from the UN Climate conference.

"The Danish Prime Minister is trying to push an illegitimate process which is opposed by many developing countries as well as civil society. This untransparent Danish initiative must be abandoned and the legitimate UN process restored. The last draft we saw from the Danish Prime minister favored US positions and undermined binding mitigation targets for developed countries, said Lars Haltbrekken from Friends of the Earth Norway.
