Greater gliders
"were once common along the east coast, but have since disappeared.. more than half the total population has been wiped out in just over two decades."

"Hundreds of endangered gliders have been sighted in NSW forests earmarked for logging. Surveys conducted by community conservationists documented more than 10 times the number of critical glider "den trees", and more than three times the number of gliders themselves, compared to those found by Forestry Corporation of NSW (FCNSW) in its mandated pre-logging surveys.The logging in those forests is planned to continue despite the regulator being told about the sightings."

Halt all operations in public forests

"Margo Kingston was arrested on Thursday after locking herself on to machinery at a protest against logging in Bulga state forest in mid-north NSW."

“I’m taking this action to protect this beautiful and biodiverse forest which is full of koalas and greater gliders,” she said before her arrest."

Will the government make the southern greater glider extinct?

Logging in the state-owned Bulga forestry, inland from Port Macquarie, is just 400km from global nature-positive summit the government is hosting.>>
