Linking hands for life

The well recognised Landcare hands remind us that care of the environment is our responsibility – it is in our hands. As the list of vulnerable and threatened species grows, we need to work together much more effectively to restore and repair our environment. We also need to learn how to better share our environment with the animals and plants that were here long before us. We need to be Linking hands for life.

PROFESSOR Hugh Possingham's idea is simple - it is called endangered species lottery.

First, the government creams off $20 million from taxes on gambling revenues as a prize. The names of Australian endangered species are written on balls and put in a barrel. On Melbourne Cup day the environment minister draws a ball from the barrel live on television just before the big race.

Landholders who have populations of the winning species on their property are given a slice of the $20 million pie, with more money apportioned for larger populations.

Possingham, a world renowned ecologist and mathematician at the University of Queensland, says the lottery would encourage landowners to look after and even increase these populations of endangered species in the hope of winning money.

It is the most compelling idea Possingham can think of to engage the public with efforts to protect Australia's fast disappearing flora and fauna.

A majority of scientists say on the best available evidence the world is facing two environmental catastrophes. The first is global warming. The second is the rapid loss of biodiversity - the mass extinction of plant and animal species at up to 1000 times the natural rate. But over the last year the public appears to have lost interest in the message.
