  1. After 60 years, the proof is in: logging Tasmania’s wet forests makes them MORE flammable, not less.
    Regrowth from clearfells burns hotter and more intensely than old-growth — denser canopies, drier microclimates, leaves closer to the fuel on the ground. A 2019 bushfire gave scientists the perfect natural experiment, and the data is clear.
    Old-growth forests are our best defence against worsening bushfires. Time to end native forest logging in Tassie. Protect what’s left.

  2. With the shut-down of paper mills it feels like there is a real chance of ending native forest logging in Victoria.

    I've just called the Premier's office and left a message asking for a halt to native forest logging and a just transition for workers. You can call on 03 9651 5000.
