AN OPPORTUNITY TO HELP 'SAVE THE DALY'

ECNT has been running a major campaign over the last few years to protect the Daly from inappropriate development.

At present the Government is considering its options for the future of the Daly, including whether to extend the current moratorium on land clearing and pastoral subdivision. An announcement will hopefully be made before the NT election this year, which could even possibly be as early as the end of May. It is therefore a crucial time to let the Government know that only the highest possible protection for the Daly is acceptable and that we definitely don't want it to go the way of the Murray or any other degraded Australian river.
