NSW.Biodiversity<p>Car bogged in an environmentally sensitive area</p><p>"A man had attempted to cross a saltpan in the Bowling Green Bay National Park, taking a 3km shortcut. These wide expanses are unique to the North Queensland landscape and are internationally recognised for their significance as a RAMSAR wetland. Getting bogged uproots vegetation, causes soil compaction and erosion, disturbs bird and crustacean populations and has the potential for contamination. It can take years to recover when damaged by 4WDs."<br>&gt;&gt;<br><a href="https://au.news.yahoo.com/aussie-man-cops-322-fine-after-failed-shortcut-ends-with-4wd-stuck-for-six-weeks-035343733.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">au.news.yahoo.com/aussie-man-c</span><span class="invisible">ops-322-fine-after-failed-shortcut-ends-with-4wd-stuck-for-six-weeks-035343733.html</span></a><br><a href="https://theblower.au/tags/RamsarConvention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RamsarConvention</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/ramsar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ramsar</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/saltpan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>saltpan</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conservation</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/CarBrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CarBrain</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cars</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/4WDs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>4WDs</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/destruction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>destruction</span></a></p>
