Wildlife Spotting

This is what the riparian areas and drainage lines in coastal eastern Qld will look like in the future if they don't already. Followed by total destruction of all native vegetation above ground level.

It is important to determine if these are native vines or not. Here is a list of native vines, and some non-native ones: http://www.davidmcminn.com/ngc/pages/nativevines.htm Native vines are important as they attract the native wildlife and play a part in keeping the growth of trees under control. It is natures own way of managing things in its own way. Just as we should not plant non-native vines where there were forests, which is wrong, we should not plant native trees in places where they were not growing naturally before. Native vines have been around for thousands of years keeping the forests under control. Removal of them can allow forests to grow where they did not before.
