...other funding falls. "Potentially, it can do a lot of good," he says, "as long as there are no strings attached." Australia's Treasury Secretary, Ken Henry, spent a month with the hairy-noses as an Epping caretaker. "It's absolutely terrific what Xstrata has done," says Henry, an ardent conservationist. "There's opportunities for other corporates to get involved with other species." Memo to Tasmanian devil: Are you getting this...
