The Blue Gum High Forest

After getting complaints from lobbyists, the State Government of Sydney has began to focus more on the Blue Gum High Forest. The mammals and birds of the area are endangered, and, even worse, only five percent of this forest still exists today. There has also been weeds that have been introduced to the land, and this is problematic because this area has an array of floral species; the weeds can be destructive to these species.
Many people want to move to this northern region because of its beauty. What is being forgotten is that this 'beauty' is present because the environment allows for it. Once people come and populate the region, they destroy the natural habitat, therefore causing the beauty to diminish. The people that are lobbying for the protection of the land are trying to restrict the amount of new development done to the land. This is an attempt to reserve the land. I think this is a great idea, and hopefully the development on this land will become restricted.
