"When Frith began working for the CSIRO the value of native fauna and flora was seen in economic terms, to be eliminated if perceived or determined to be detrimental to economic activity. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s that mindset changed, evolving towards a recognition that the natural environment had its own intrinsic worth, that native animals and plants are "a priceless heritage to be protected and cherished". Throughout his career as a biologist Harry Frith played a role in bringing about that perceptual change in Australian society" (Wikipedia) 1973.
