The family farm - years of 'bashing and burning'

"I bashed the trees down and burnt everything … I was a bash and burner."

"It took about 200 years to transform a once wild island into an agricultural powerhouse,
farmers raised to conquer the land; slashing native vegetation to make way for agriculture.Much of King Island's native vegetation has been cleared for farmland."

Farmer Fred Perry's 30-year conservation project creates bird haven after years of 'bashing and burning'

"Our processes stand in stark contrast to the sloppy work of our peers in DOGE. Their slash-and-burn tactics had them reportedly holed up in a boarded-up conference room in the basement of our office, deciding the best way to seemingly dismantle our agency."

WE TRIED TO WARN THEM.

I don't believe the #Biden Administration took the threat of a second #NaziDon term seriously enough.

How a mayor beat the loggers to turn the place green again
Could Bellingen become a “green municipality”?

"A region battered by predatory logging and ranching...With its forest-gobbling ranchers, bootleg loggers and dodgy sawmill operators, this sprawling township the size of Israel was a big red flag."

“For decades, Paragominas was one of the Amazon’s epicentres of deforestation and timber extraction. That changed in 2008, with the municipal environmental pact, which reduced deforestation by 80%,” says Beto Veríssimo, co-founder of Imazon, a rainforest-based thinktank. ..Controlling deforestation turned the township into a magnet for investment and economic growth.”
