Barcelona a great example - Moreton Shire planning Poor example. What we see up in Moreton Shire at present is continued wanton remova...l of vast green corridors for small allotment housing, little improved public resourcing to support these satellite suburbs, a piddly minimum % of green space in design with major loss of fauna habitats particularly koalas, kangaroos, echidnas and small marsupials.

Today, this posterior flagellum propels primitive fungal spores and animal sperm alike. Further facts to support that fungicides can have s negative effect on plant and soil micro fauna.
