The Clearing

Hopping, jumping, running… threatened species fearfully seeking shelter in native woodland and scrub Evacuating the hectares of the clearing Whilst a petrified baby koala clings to his mother tight between massive cut logs, which yesterday were thriving trees. Two centuries of deforestation and now nearly fifty percent of the bush lifeless For beef cattle production, to export. Where the destruction affects the animals leaving them homeless, Where the circle of life is broken due to the wickedness and greed of mankind, The children gasp for air.
