Reposted by KatMike Dickison @adzebill.bsky.social · 24/09/2026It would be a shame if this was framed as “collecting all the lizards”. Bathurst are proposing the rip up and destroy the entire ecosystem, dig out all the coal, then reconstruct some vague approximation afterwards. It’s not about saving a few rare snails. But Bathurst wants to frame it that way. 16123
