In great news for the Daly River, The Northern Territory Government announced on Wednesday 12 December that it will protect the Daly River from land clearing for another two years.
As the eyes of the world focus on the climate change negotiations in Bali, the Daly decision recognises the folly of land clearing proposals that would increase the release of carbon in the atmosphere.
Thank you to everyone who signed the cyberaction calling for the protection of the beautiful Daly River.
Your help has saved the Daly from the threat of land clearing for two more years. The campaign will continue until we see permanent protection for the Daly River as a Living River, as promised by the Northern Territory Government in 2005, when it placed a moratorium on the Daly River
catchment to protect it from land clearing.
