Shouldn't local fauna education be part of the site induction program (especially for environmental officers)? Being situated in an area where wildlife encounters are more common place than in a 'built up area' like a city, your local 'environmental specialist' should know how to handle the occasional appearance of a "snake". | A bit off the topic but how much do these "environmental officers" get paid? |
