"Digging dams in sensitive environments"

"A commercial farming company (Green Leaf Australia Group) and one of its directors have together been fined close to $300,000, for constructing and using dams without approval and impacting a "nationally significant" freshwater wetland in northern New South Wales."

"...The court found that some of the offences involved removing vegetation and clearing land, which caused harm to the environment, including nationally significant freshwater wetlands listed as endangered ecological communities.

"It's not just the environmental harm but also the Aboriginal cultural harm that's occurred though this offending, which Magistrate Scott Nash described as 'reckless and motivated for financial gain,'" Ms Stockley said."

WETLANDS IN A DRY LAND
More-than-Human Histories of Australia’s Murray-Darling Basin, Emily O'Gorman

"What counts as a wetland, especially in Australia, the driest inhabited continent on earth? In the name of agriculture, urban growth and disease control, humans have drained, filled or otherwise destroyed nearly 87 percent of the world's wetlands over the past three centuries. Only recently have wetlands been widely recognised as worth preserving for their diverse plants, animals, insects, and their human histories."

"Situating Australia's history within global environmental humanities conversations, O'Gorman argues that we need to understand wetlands as socioecological landscapes that transcend the nature-culture divide and to embrace non-Western ways of knowing and being. Only then can we begin to create sustainable relationships with, and futures for, the wetlands."

"the loss of habitat along the flyway is a key reason for the loss of many migratory shorebirds – not just eastern curlews, whose numbers have dropped by two-thirds over the last 20 years."
