Documentation of the systematic destruction of Tuckers Nob forests
"Presentation for Friends of Tuckers Nob on the history and significance of Tuckers Nob State Forest and why it must be included in the NSW Government's proposed 'Great' Koala National Park. Based on a recent preliminary report submitted to government, showing the original forest and koala sightings, with a list of moratorium areas (including Tuckers). All the most recent developments, bringing the viewer up to date. This is why we need a #GreaterKoalaPark, with no logging."
The video has a link to the report containing the results (maps) of the investigations by Dr Tim Cadman and local community-based citizen scientists:

Logging the great koala national park
"Before the next election round lets make sure The Great Koala National Park is secured. Its the last chance for the survival of our Koala population on the Eastern Seaboard of Australia."

Human-mediated extirpation of wildlife through logging
"Before industrial logging in south-west British Columbia, there were nearly 1,000 spotted owls in the old-growth forests. But they have vanished in recent decades, victims of habitat destruction. Activists have tried in vain to hold the government to account, alleging protected species laws have failed to prevent the extirpation of the owls."
"Efforts to revive the population have failed, with a pair of owls released from the breeding program dying within months. The lone female in the wild is also believed to have died."

Logging in forest earmarked for koala national park increasing under NSW Labor, analysis finds
“Far from protecting the great koala national park, they are accelerating its degradation.""Logging of native forest in the proposed great koala national park (GKNP) in northern New South Wales has intensified since the Minns government took office, according to new analysis by conservation advocates."
The report, which the state’s forestry corporation disputes, found 7,185 hectares (17,700 acres) were logged within the promised park in the 21 months since the March 2023 state election. Dailan Pugh, the president of the North East Forest Alliance, said this was about 8.4% of the area identified for potential logging and included habitat for endangered koalas and another 37 threatened species....They’re still logging areas they’ve identified as high density for koalas,” Pugh said."

Drone locates 20 koalas in forest due to be logged next year
"A thermal drone imaging survey has been conducted over a plantation within the Great Koala National Park footprint. 20 koalas were detected over two nights at Tuckers Nob State Forest, which is due to be logged in the New Year."
The so called 'plantations' are more like native forests. Tuckers Nob forest must be included in the great koala national park. Video>>

The government promised a koala national park. Then their loggers moved in
"Logging inside the Great Koala National Park assessment area is four times more intense when measured by area than in nearby state forests outside the park, and environmentalists say the targeted areas are wreaking maximal environmental damage...New analysis suggests the NSW government’s own logging arm is trashing the forest inside the proposed park." >>

Bellingen 2/2
Hyde and Church St.:
Bumper-to-bumper road trains speeding through drive through town. Horizontal native forests fly by on logging trucks. Amplified 'music' tries to overpower the fossil fuel soundscape. A non-place between Paramatta Rd. and Luna Park.
In Church St. (which really is just another car park) food consumers are being polluted by car fumes. Breastfeeding parents idle in their air-conditioned SUVs.Council updated the tidy garden beds along the road with new weeds. Indian mynas are rapidly replacing native birds.
The 'Koala shampoo for dogs' summed it all up.

A 2020 NSW parliamentary inquiry found koalas would be extinct in the state by 2050 without urgent action.
"Governments continue to permit the clearing of koala habitat, including for native forest logging operations on the mid-north coast and in areas that have been promised for conservation in a proposed great koala national park."
“We’re in one of the most biodiverse, rich areas on this continent, but historical clearing has seriously degraded the area."

Still logging Tuckers Nob, also known as the proposed Great Koala National Park
Dr. Tim Cadman is documenting how rainforest trees are cleared and original forest remnant are damaged by the state-owned Forestry Corporation of NSW. Week 11 of industrial logging within Tuckers Nob compartments 26-27 turning remnant vegetation into timber and electricity.

Industrial machinery leave huge puddles behind that supply the whole of Bellingen with Japanese encephalitis virus, Murray Valley encephalitis and Ross River virus. Gain for some, harm for others.

Friends of Pine Creek
is "a group of citizens committed to protecting the natural and cultural values of Pine Creek State Forest on the mid north coast of NSW, Australia"They are mourning the destruction of koalas habitat and biodiversity at the hands of their government. They have a very informative web presence:
"The ‘Forest Bridge’ proposal seeks to permanently conserve a critical corridor of public State Forest as a wildlife corridor west of Coffs Harbour on the Mid North coast of NSW. It offers a unique opportunity to permanently protect and complete an east/west corridor of conserved land stretching from the coastline at Bongil Bongil National Park westward to Point Lookout within New England National Park and beyond. In 2021 both Bongil Bongil National Park and Bindarri National Park were listed as Assets of Intergenerational Significance by the Minister for Energy and Environment, warranting them special protection."
"The gap between these two National Parks is currently occupied by small sections of Pine Creek State Forest and Tuckers Knob State Forest both under constant threat of destruction through high intensity logging. Parts of this country have already been clear-felled and bulldozed for monocultural Blackbutt (Eucalyptus pilularis) plantations. Blackbutt is not a primary koala food tree."

End native forest logging in NSW!
"Native forest logging ended in Victoria on January 1. State-owned logging company VicForests will cease to exist from June 30 this year."
"VicForests' management of community forestry, including the harvesting of wind-thrown timber, ended on February 5, with the organisation citing the "risk of litigation" and "the cost it would burden the taxpayer with" as the reason for bringing its original June end date forward.
State-owned logging business VicForests, which has previously been found to have breached threatened species laws, will cease to exist from June 30 this year."
