I’ve recently written a post in response to a proposal by the Victorian Government in Australia to charge for basic camping sites – they have always been free and now the proposal is for $13 per night.  To my mind this begins to change the concept of a national park, and its role in allowing us to re-imagine connections with nature.  You can access my post by going back to brianfurze.com.au or by clicking here.

This has got me thinking about the connections between LoST, national parks, local communities and landscape sustainability. These are incredibly important connections, not the least because national parks are an international system of conservation and therefore provide important connections on a global scale.

Look out for a post that looks at this in the coming weeks – it’s a topic dear to my heart!
