Saved by Luck, Not by Law: What the Lennox Head Tree Clearing Reveals
The alleged clearing of a sugar glider colony's habitat at Lennox Head has exposed serious gaps in the laws meant to protect native vegetation on rural land.

BES is calling for a full investigation and for reform so that habitat protection doesn't depend on goodwill.
