A chunk of prime real estate inside public national parks
An emerging threat to some of the last wild places

"Australia is at the forefront of private tourism development inside national parks and reserves – the trend ... is changing the nature of the country’s protected natural places."

“What has happened, just in the last few years, is that particular individuals have been granted rights by the state national parks agencies to build lodges inside national parks...Australia’s national parks became a battleground between conservation and commerce."

"Nature is disappearing at the greatest rate in human history...Public land in wild places should never be handed over for private development." >>
