Natural Heritage Trust - where does the money go?
The Natural Heritage Trust is billed by the Federal Government as the
greatest environmental rescue package ever. Funded by some of the money
from the partial sale of Telstra, the Natural Heritage Trust - or NHT -
supports some 18 programs, including Bushcare and National Landcare, and
has a budget of $1.5 billion dollars for the period of 1996 to 2002.=20
The Federal Government's funding allocation to the Natural Heritage Trust
in its latest budget was down nearly 15% from last year's. Many people
criticised this, while others were more concerned about the fundamental
problem of just what the NHT money is being spent on. Today we speak with
Australian Conservation Foundation's Biodiversity Campaign Coordinator,
Charlie Sherwin.=20

The Green Building Project
The Australian Conservation Foundation is looking to relocate its national
headquarters in Melbourne to a Green Building in the CBD. The move involves
renovating a 3 storey building in Lester Street, Carlton, with
environmentally friendly building materials, and incorporating all aspects
of environmental design.
The Project developer is a partnership of two ethical investment companies,
and work is set to start in the second of this year with a view to being
finished by July 2001. Earth Matters met up with Project Officer for the
building Alistair Mailer, at the site.=20
