*…you study it, we will report it.*
Study of our ecology in Australia began in the fifties.
The Grampians was declared a National Park in 1984, and what we don’t know about the area would fill several encyclopaedias. What we don’t know about we cannot manage or protect. So it is very, extremely, HUGELY, important that we develop a database of information on what is there, what should be there, what needs protecting, and how.
We will endeavour to promote this by publicising in Nat Notes what ecologocial studies have been completed, what are currently being done, and what should be done. It is aimed at you, the interested reader, and also we hope as an exchange medium between people working in the field, who often work very hard in remote areas, and who may benefit from reading what is going on elsewhere.
When (not IF) we miss something, or get it wrong, please help us to make this section as comprehensive and accurate as possible by letting us know!
