Such is the expressed concern of National Tree Day founder John Dee. However, it is unclear whether the electrified plantation of 120 new seedlings will ensure the survival of the species from the ravages of changing climate.
Perhaps some comfort can be taken from the species' 200-million-year evolutionary history, as interglacial warming periods have occurred throughout this lengthy period of survival.
In an ABC News article, a surprising report describes the location of the Wollemi Pines, which was found in 1994 in the Wollemi National Park, as secret and suggests that poaching and feral animals are threats from which the new seedlings will be protected through an electrified fence.
The public, however, should be able to visit this plantation, which was established to try and replicate the original colony as closely as possible.
What never ceases to amaze me is how no one gives a shit if Ian makes such a disgusting comment (or comments as per your examples), but if it were Luke or someone considered 'green', they'd be hung, drawn and quartered. Don't even want to think about his gene pool on this planet - I think there is something about that on the cane toad post.
We'll just add that to dynamiting bilbies, bulldozing bora rings, smacking out DNR staff, torching Recherche Bay and buring other sundry parts of the estate.
Hope you never get divorced - the kids are goners. Don't think these sort of comments might harden your opposition even more?
Jeez Ian. I hope you were just mouthing off.
Maybe it would die in roadside plantings? Luke, the main cluster is just beside the Logan Motorway so why would they not survive in a suburban round-about?
They keep these species in endangered status because it is expedient to do so.
Frankly, if I knew where the Wollemi pines were I would Tordon the damned things.
NO don't divert - you said the octogenerian farmer was the sole source - not so. You didn't tell us about the park plantings either.
If the species is so robust and loves disturbance why is it so rare. Maybe it would die in roadside plantings?
Your selectively pruned story is pretty one-eyed. Yes have an inquiry into the Council and I'm not a fan of EPA either.
