Secret Forest: Australia rivals The Congo on deforestation, blocks media access to world scientists - The destruction of 1.5m hectares of forest in three years.

"Australia’s poor record in forestry management: "Australia "non-compliant". Professor David Lindenmayer"

“Absolutely, we are in non-compliance [with the MPWG framework] because essentially we can’t tell how many species are not travelling well.”

“We know that in Victoria, and in New South Wales, logging is actually taking place in some of the most important places for threatened forest biodiversity,” Professor Lindenmayer said.

"There are lots of lovely glossy documents saying ‘We’re going to stop deforestation and forest degradation’ and all that sort of stuff. But we’re still clearing about 500,000 hectares every year.”
