It seems that a small Australian Skink has been able to block the development of a coal mine(Okay, he had help from a snake).
It may not be a permanent block, but if they try to develop the coal mine they will have to allow for the reptiles and their needs.

It seems that over the years lots of animals and plants have been able to block development. Lots have creatures and habitats have been lost to development. It is just good to know that sometimes nature wins.
There were lots of other reasons why the coal mine is not a good idea. It just needed help from a skink(my favourite lizard group
) to stop it.
