It is rather frightening looking into the future when it comes to the natural environment. The bureaucratic process determining planning and development is now being called 'Green Tape'.

With local government representatives more often than not motivated by personal interest and those active in conservation being labelled self interested minority groups, the natural environment looks like it is in for a real battering.
