We ask ourselves, is there nowhere on our planet that is safe from the heavy hand of industry?
In our Kimberley backyard, we are facing the prospect of industrialisation and the negative impacts it will bring…
ENVIRONMENTAL
-
The increased emissions of greenhouse gases
Increased pollution from increased in air, road & sea traffic
Threat to the humpback whale populations
Damage to reef and seabeds
Risks to other marine species; dugong, turtle, dolphins
Impact on other flora and fauna as the development takes place
SOCIAL
Reputation as a pristine tourism destination would be damaged
Loss of community due to fly in/fly out workers
Alcohol & drug problems would be exacerbated
Pressure on emergency. health and dental services that are already stretched
Locals and tourists alike would be prevented from visiting their favourite areas along the coast
Increase noise and air pollution
Threat to other industries and livelihoods such as fishing, indigenous nature-based tourism and pearling.
