Description: Defending The Little Desert by Libby Robin Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Environmental protection and responsibility - Australia. Publisher Description The Little Desert dispute of 1968 was a watershed in Australian environmental politics, marking the beginning of a new consciousness of nature.In 1968 Sir William McDonald, Victorias Minister of Lands, announced a rural settlement scheme for the Little Desert in Victorias far north-west. The conservation campaign that ensued was one of unprecedented vehemence and sophistication. It cost McDonald his parliamentary seat and consigned the Little Desert Settlement Scheme to oblivion.The Little Desert dispute was a watershed in Australian environmental politics. Suburban activists, scientists, amateur naturalists, economists and bureaucrats banded together to oppose McDonalds ill-conceived scheme. It marked the beginning of a new consciousness of nature and the concept of `biological diversity was voiced in the halls of parliament for the first time.In Defending the Little Desert, Libby Robin offers a sensitive account of the unlikely coalition of forces that assembled to save the Little Desert.This beautifully written account of the campaign, perhaps the earliest expression of ecological consciousness in Australia, will be read by all Australians interested in conservation and the environment, in participatory political processes and in public science.
