"Yeah, the reason is that no one in New Zealand CARES enough to study the negative impacts of mountain biking. All you care about is MONEY! By the way, how are the moa and thylacine doing lately? Learn something about your own endangered species".

As evident in the above statement you have indicated that the thyalcine or Tasmanian Tiger is a NZ endangered species. Unknown to you the thyalcine lived in Australia, which is not part of New Zealand.

Geography lesson over.

Have a great day Mike!

PS If it helps I can you draw a picture for you showing where Australia and New Zealand are on a map of the world.

As illustrated by Vandeman suggesting the thylacine (or tasmanian tiger) was in New Zealand it is obvious Vandeman is a lightweight when it comes to science and environmental issues. In case you don't know Tasmania is not part of New Zealand. It is in Australia.



More importantly if Vandeman had bothered to read about New Zealand's environmental issues from the scientific community he would quickly discover that the impact of introduced mammals - namely possums, rats, cats and ungulates are the main concerns regarding New Zealand's native biodiversity (I have told of this before numerous times). What's more none of the species in the article Vandeman has provided are directly impacted by mountain biking . Kakapo, for example, are only found in offshore islands which are basically off limits to humans.



Interestingly what Vandeman won't tell you is that there is actually growing support for more mountain biking in New Zealand's natural areas (ie national parks) from environmental groups and recreationists. The rationale behind this is that people want additional recreational experiences and the negative impact of mountain biking is more imagined than real according to research from our Department of Conservation.



To me it is obvious that Vandeman, although he pretends to be a scientist is nothing more than an extremist who clearly believes in his own agenda rather than scientific facts. The unfortunate outcome of Vandeman's extremism and irrationality is that he gives the environmental movement a bad name.

No response but I am not surprised. You just look like an idiot asking me how the thyalcine and moa are going! To repeat my point - Tasmania is not part of New Zealand. It is in Australia. Duhhhhhhhhhhh...............

If you had bothered to read about the science regarding new Zealand and Australia's biodiversity issues you would find that the key environmental problems are climate change and the impact of mammalian predators on native biodiversity.

In the case of New Zealand, for example, many of our endangered species such as Kiwi are on the brink of extinction on the mainland because of predation by dogs, stoats, rats and cats etc. The evil mountain bike isn't the cause of decline old chum. A 12 year old could tell you that.

Maybe it would be an idea that you actually did some homework before making statements about another countries environmental issues and mountain biking?

Here you go old chum. This will help explain for you what the issues are in New Zealand biodiversity conservation.

http://www.globalrestorationnetwork....newzealand.pdf

http://doc.govt.nz/documents/science...al/casn169.pdf

Innes et al. 1999. Successful recovery of North Island kokako Callaeas cinerea wilsoni populations by adaptive management Biological Conservation, Volume 87, Issue 2, February 1999, Pages 201–214.

If you can't be bothered reading academic articles you could always watch one of the following:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KagOPIWHec

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGof7hotXco

All the above clearly shows that introduced mammalian predators and browsers are the big issue for New Zealand Conservation rather than mountain biking. In fact we use most of the world's supply of 1080 poison to control pests.

Are you still going to persist with your pathetic arguments?

And finally your argument is also irrelevant as Mountain biking is not allowed in New Zealand's national parks with a few exceptions. For example, you can only mountain bike the Heaphy track during winter. Essentially New Zealands parks are for hikers and hunters - a point who seem to miss in your rants regarding biology and physics.

The redwoods forest park in Rotorua, which you have commented on previously much to the amusement of mountain bike riders in New Zealand is a not a natural area or a national park. It is predominantly a plantation forest that is privately owned and doesn't contain much biodiversity of significance. What's more there are specific tracks for mountain bikers and walkers so the conflicts you mention are more imagined than real.

Are you embarrassed enough old chum?
