The Fauna, Funghi and Flora section contains a curious passage...

"Fungi are still barely recognised as a vital part of Australia's biodiversity. Although Australia has national, state and territory biodiversity conservation strategies and has ratified international conventions, most Australian conservation legislation overlooks fungi. While several countries have comprehensively mapped and RED-listed thousands of fungal species, only a handful of Australian fungi have been formally protected and only at a state level.

Groups such as Wombat Forestcare, Fungimap and various field naturalist clubs are making huge efforts and progress toward lifting the profile of fungi through acquiring knowledge of their diversity and distribution and contributing to fungal conservation."

To me, this seems like agenda-pushing and infiltration, and seems to be taking much more generally than being specific to the Wombat State Forest. I am not sure what the next step is. Can I remove the passage? Does it get debated, and a consensus reached?Robbmonster (talk) 09:01, 30 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

You can just remove it. The Drover's Wife (talk) 10:38, 30 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
