After the closure of VicForests, The Healthy Forests Foundation is reborn - the new face of logging in Victoria

"VicForests' June 30 closure followed allegations of widespread and illegal logging, referrals to corruption watchdogs and revelations the organisation had spied on conservationists."

The Healthy Forests Foundation
""The aim is just to work out ways to keep cutting the forest. It's a front — it's just a way of keeping the [logging] industry going. It's kind of like the 'healthy smoking foundation'..Professor Lindenmayer, who spent decades studying the impacts of logging on forests, described the Healthy Forests Foundation as "greenwashing on steroids".

"The Healthy Forests Foundation says its purpose is to promote First Nations forest management, which proponents admit will also supply timber. One Indigenous leader said the Healthy Forests Foundation looked like "black cladding" — a way for largely non-Indigenous industries to gain access to resources by taking advantage of Indigenous peoples' access...It is not self-determination. It is tokenism."

NSW government says state’s biodiversity ‘in crisis’ as it pledges first steps to reverse decline
"Government will also overhaul state laws after Guardian Australia uncovered serious problems with biodiversity offsets scheme."

"Henry’s review found the state’s environment laws would not succeed without substantial changes and warned half of the species under threat in NSW were on course to become extinct within the next 100 years"

End native forest logging and land clearing now!

Fossil fuel machinery has started 'treading lightly' in Tuckers Nob public forest today in Bellingen.

Logging trucks were speeding along Roses community road today at 8.30, delivering giant fossil fuel machinery to start the industrial destruction of Tuckers Nob (compartments 26 and 27) public forest.

A vigil is being held by Friends of Tucker Nob on Gleniffer Rd.

'The Koala lives here'
Stop logging native forests
Stop forest destruction in a climate and biodiversity crisis
