Still Waters Posted March 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2017 A newly rediscovered rare plant – thought to have become extinct almost 200 years ago – has sparked a legal action in Sydney’s west against a development that threatens the flower’s only known location. About 370 specimens of Hibbertia fumana – a small flowering shrub endemic to Sydney – were found on the grounds of the proposed 83-hectare Simta Moorebank transport hub late last year. On Friday the New South Wales Environmental Defenders Office filed a suit on behalf of residents appealing against the development’s approval. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/mar/17/rare-plant-sparks-legal-action-against-sydney-development 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glorybebe Posted March 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Nice! Don't mention anything about the flower being discovered until after the building application was approved. They knew what they were doing was unethical. I really hope this company gets this application rejected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
