Henderson wants greater recognition for UNESCO status
An MLC has warned complacency could put the Island's UNESCO Biosphere status at risk.
At this morning's (27 Feb) sitting of the Legislative Council, Bill Henderson will quiz a representative of the Department of Environment, Food, and Agriculture on the issue.
He wants to know what conservation work is being undertaken in the 'core zones' of the biosphere, and whether the department recognises their importance as a measure of bio-diversity.
Mr Henderson says he's keen to see the government give greater recognition to what he sees as an important accolade:
Another Peel commissioner challenges official account of beach stage decision
'Disappointing' third delay to new local government bill
'Significant player within several criminal syndicates' jailed
Call for external investigation as row at Peel Town Commissioners continues
