Actually, it does gain traction in the scientific community, Parks & Wildlife as well as the RFS. In fact, some practices are actively being pushed. However, you also need to examine those practices in a historical context when this country of ours was somewhat less populated, settled in a different manner & we weren't engaged in the wholesale harvesting of forests & land clearing activities.
You might also like to look more closely at exactly who is standing in the way of implementing some of those practices. I'll give you a hint, you already mentioned one (media) but, government (pick your flavour, it's largely irrelevant), national party, agricultural industry & other vested interests would be good places to look too; that doesn't gain much traction either does it?
