Conservation leaders urge Premier to protect Kosciuszko Nation Park from commercial over-development

Some of the state’s leading conservationists, ecologists and former national parks managers are “imploring” Premier Gladys Berejiklian to “set aside disastrous plans” to significantly increase commercial development of Kosciuszko National Park.

Kosciuszko National Park must be protected

An open letter to the NSW Premier – 20 August 2021

Dear Premier Berejiklian,

We, the undersigned, are dismayed by the unprecedented plans your Government has announced for Kosciuszko National Park.  

More than seventy-five years ago your parliamentary forebears legislated to protect the mountain landscapes, alpine habitats and headwaters of the Murray, Murrumbidgee and Snowy rivers as Kosciuszko National Park.  It was a truly precious gift to future generations.
