The ancient, fragile mountain ranges of the Wet Tropics are in peril from industrialisation due to numerous proposed renewable energy developments. These biodiverse ridgelines, previously inaccessible, form part of the Great Dividing Range that stretches all the way down to Victoria. The cooler, high-altitude climbs offer refuge for wildlife and contain perhaps the highest biodiversity of any Australian landscape.
A tidal wave of renewable energy developments are in the pipeline and may spell doom for thousands of species of wildlife: Red Goshawks, Greater Gliders, Koalas, Sharman's Rock-Wallabies and more.
Giant renewable energy corporations have no social, cultural or environmental license to be here. They are exploiting our environmental permits and draining our resources and taxpayer dollars away. The billions of dollars of subsidies primarily benefit the developers leaving us with a trail of waste.
We invite our entire community to this educational and informative event to find out how the proposed renewable developments will affect us.
We will leave you with a message of hope and action that can start today!
Everyone welcome.
