“Why is the Roe 8 project an issue and why is it important that we talk about it?”
Answer: Issue due to the enormous impact the project is having on the fauna
and flora in the immediate and surrounding areas (environmental), local people
are largely concerned with the consequences of the road extension and their
lifestyle (social), and people are conerned about the cost of the project
(economic. Important for us to be talking about the project as it is occurring in
our local community and will impact us and future generations of people living
near the affected areas.
