The placing of economic growth above social and environmental values has had a severe impact on our natural environment. Unsustainable land clearing, irrigation, woodchipping, urban sprawl and other developments continue in regional NSW. This in spite of the sometimes successful attempts by the NSW Government to check and reverse the destruction of our coast, bushland, forests and waterways. TEC is working on a range of campaigns to protect and restore many of our natural areas. Check the bulletins below for background overviews and updates on our Natural Areas campaigns. Also check our News area for related media releases.
