Hi,
This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.
Thanks

Illegal Wild Cheetah Trade for Luxury Pets is Pushing Species to Extinction, CITES Report


A new report has confirmed that the status-driven, illegal trade in live cheetahs is pushing vulnerable wild populations of the big cats to extinction. Cheetah cubs are poached from the wild and transported to the Gulf States across the Horn of Africa, and research reveals that up to 70 percent of the cubs do not survive the journey. The report, issued by CITES, has finally led the countries affected by the trade to agree to take urgent counter-measures.
