[b]Prescribed burn devastates one of WA's last two endangered numbat habitats.[/b]

Conservationists are up in arms after a prescribed burn in the South West decimated one of only two numbat habitats left in Western Australia.

The burn – lit by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions in Perup, east of Manjimup, on March 25 – scorched nearly 1,900 hectares of forest.

A helicopter dropped incendiaries into the forest for two hours.
Within two hours this whole bush was ablaze.

I am livid that this has been allowed to happen. As we know, Government Departments do as they will and deal with the consequences after

Happy to sign any petition
