New bee in Perth highlights need for bushland protection

Date:

A new species of bee discovered by the WA Museum shows the importance of protecting Perth’s remaining bushland ecology, WA Greens MLC Alison Xamon said today.

“I am delighted that a new species has been discovered so close to the Perth CBD,” Ms Xamon said.

“It reinforces the sheer recklessness of further degrading any remaining bushland we have in the city.”

Ms Xamon said many parts of the Jandakot Regional Park in Forrestdale were under threat from vandalism and unnecessary roads planned through the area.
