I'm always amused at the things we try to protect, as if they had been around forever, and everyone just assumes that is the case. Like Princes island - don't you dare disturb the wetland on the east side!- which has only been around for maybe 50 years, or the Weaslehead, which was made from damming Glenmore. Hell, Fish Creek used to be a munitions test range. They are all ecosystems now, and I'm not saying to not protect them, but the reality is we also made them in the first place.
