WildThings is an urban fauna translocation program developed by Ku-ring-gai Council in 2004 to protect, promote and proliferate wildlife in the Ku-ring-gai local government area. ==Program background== The program was started by Peter Clarke who, while in charge of the Bushcare program, noticed that while bush regenerators intended to preserve habitat and wildlife, the program was responsible for the wholesale removal of weeds which often lessened the biodiversity value of the ecosystem that the volunteers were trying to protect. In New South Wales, where Ku-ring-gai is located, the state government has many regulations that effectively deny people the opportunity to have native animals for pets. On their web page they have detailed their objections.〔(objections )〕 The disconnect between urban residents and wildlife was picked up in a survey commissioned by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (New South Wales).〔(survey )〕 In an attempt to create positive relationships between people and wildlife, the program WildThings was created; however due to the restrictive legislative environment around mammals, the program has concentrated on invertebrates, fish and reptiles. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WildThings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
