The idea of the Great Koala National Park (GKNP) and ongoing clearfell logging of native forests

"Government GKNP proposal falls short according to Ashley Love...He says a recent environmental report, prepared on behalf of and with input from local environmentalists, indicates the current Government proposal is “grossly inadequate...It fails to adequately protect the largest coastal koala population in NSW, which occupies Bongil Bongil National Park, Pine Creek, Orara East and Tuckers Nob State Forests."

“The majority of plantation production is for pulpwood into a market that is now heavily oversupplied in South-east Asia or for burning as “biofuel” for electricity production.”

Koala habitat on the Mid-North Coast of NSW logged

"Up to 19,000 hectares of forest in the proposed Great Koala National Park is at risk of destruction by Forestry Corporation NSW before April next year."

“It is untenable that so much has been destroyed, and will be destroyed in the coming year, before these areas have been assessed. ..The new analysis reveals Forestry Corporation is continuing its desperate attempt to take as much timber as possible before the park is protected."

“Leaving 95% of the proposed park vulnerable to logging is simply not good enough to ensure the survival of koalas in the wild."

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."

Australian biodiversity conservation and 'fighting the government.'

"A rare legal win for an ecologist over a violent confrontation with NSW loggers exposed years of intimidation from corporate forestry representatives and law enforcement ."

"In environmental science circles, state surveillance and persecution of an ecologist whose findings refute or debunk state land management practices surprises no one. Last year, the International Science Council, a body representing more than 250 organisations, summarised that “the findings of environmental scientists … have long triggered censorship, intimidation, harassment and even violence when these challenge economic interests, political agendas, or ideologies”. It reported that scientists “have been physically attacked, wrongfully detained, and killed for their research and advocacy … threats and attacks are widespread in virtually all fields examining human impact on the environment”.

"A 2021 joint university study of Australian environmental scientists found more than half employed in industry or government “are routinely constrained in communicating scientific evidence on threatened species, mining, logging and other threats to the environment”. In some cases, “scientists self-censor information for fear of damaging their careers, losing funding or being misrepresented in the media. In others, senior managers or ministers’ officers prevented researchers from speaking truthfully on scientific matters...In all logged states, time spent fighting the government has overtaken the fieldwork time of ecologists and forest researchers."

Loggers accused of 'botching' greater glider searches

"Australia’s greater gliders are on the verge of extinction and new regulations were supposed to protect them from loggers. But a new report alleges they’ve been breached 188 times since they were enforced in February."

“Yet again Forestry Corporation [of] NSW has shown itself to be a rogue operator by repeatedly flouting rules meant to protect threatened and endangered species like the iconic Greater Glider."

"Greater gliders were listed as endangered in 2023 and habitat loss has been flagged as a major contributor of their destruction."

Where will all the microbats go when the NSW forests are logged and clear-felled?

Decline of rare UK bat linked to tree felling for British empire’s fleets
"Rife deforestation 500 years ago aligns with western barbastelle slump, finds study of bat DNA."

"The examples of flora and fauna disappearing because of human excesses over the past 50 years are manifold, but research has found that the decline of a characterful bat began in the UK when its trees were felled for shipbuilding 500 years ago."

"“These bats usually roost in mature oak and beech trees, and move around every few nights – so they benefit from areas with substantial woodland cover. Our findings reveal that the northern and southern British populations have declined over several centuries, beginning about 500 years ago. This coincides with a period of widespread tree-felling to supply wood for colonial shipbuilding. It is likely that the decline we found was triggered by this loss of woodland – which has continued since that period.”
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/dec/14/decline-of-rare-uk-bat-linked-to-tree-felling-for-british-empires-fleets

The barbastelle are sparsely distributed in the landscape and absent from many areas of the country.

A ‘zero-deforestation’ approach overseas
while logging continues in NSW

"The Committee had recommended the Government prevent UK businesses from trading in commodities linked to UN-defined deforestation in all cases, regardless of whether the deforestation was illegal or permitted by local laws. This ‘zero-deforestation’ approach would encourage consistency in trading such commodities across UK and European markets, increasing protections for areas at risk of deforestation."

"But in its response to the Committee’s report, The UK’s contribution to tackling global deforestation, the Government said it believed “the only way to achieve zero global deforestation in supply chains is to work in partnership with producer countries – and that working in partnership requires us to uphold and respect national laws.”

“Clearing forests to produce goods is deeply damaging whenever it takes place; it being permitted under local laws does not change that fact. UK businesses should not be trading in products linked to deforestation, as defined by the UN, if we want to provide genuine international leadership. Failing to prohibit such trade risks giving mixed signals."

Albanese government fails to monitor deforestation, leaving it to citizen scientists to uncover potentially illegal clearing

"The work of citizen scientists has laid bare the staggering lack of federal government monitoring of deforestation in Australia, after six instances of potentially unlawful land clearing were uncovered in the last four months through a volunteer monitoring program."

"Since December 2023, the Wilderness Society and Queensland Conservation Council have referred six instances of potentially illegal deforestation to the federal government for assessment."

“The Albanese government must uphold their commitment of no new extinctions and protect iconic species like the koala. The only way to achieve this is to stop the bulldozers in their tracks by tough enforcement of our national environment law.”

Gleniffer residents close Tuckers Nob to Forestry

"Gleniffer residents gathered at dawn today and reposted ‘Forest Closed’ notices around Tuckers Nob – with a difference.This time the signs read “Forest Closed: To Loggers”.
This is in response to the closure of compartments 26 and 27 by Forestry Corporation late last year, with FCNSW stating its intent to log the area. Community have become frustrated after their expert report around Unique and Special Values there has been ignored."

Like in the Amazon or the Congo, the fossil fuel powered machinery of destruction has started wiping out the homes of endemic and rare plants and animals.

How to fast-track extinction
NSW changes are designed to make logging easier
Logging glider and koala habitat is nonsensical
#EndNativeForestLogging

"New logging rules in NSW put the greater glider closer to extinction."

"The NSW Environment Protection Authority this month announced changes to rules in logging operations."

"...Ecologists were shocked by a recent announcement by New South Wales environment authorities that we believe loosens protections for southern greater gliders in logging areas."

"But sadly, extensive glider habitat has been burnt, logged or both. Climate change poses a further risk."

"Since the southern greater glider was listed as vulnerable in 2016, its habitat continued to be destroyed. This is poor management for many reasons:

gliders often die on site when their habitat is disturbed

young forests recovering after disturbances tend to be hotter and drier, which is bad for gliders because they are heat-sensitive

removing hollow-bearing trees not only destroys a key part of glider habitat immediately, but it can take decades (if not centuries) for forest to become suitable again

logging makes forests more flammable and gliders are particularly sensitive to fire

logging can change the composition of tree species in a forest, reducing the availability of quality food for gliders."

"Logging those refuges is nonsensical given the large body of scientific work demonstrating its negative effects. And tinkering around the edge of logging rules will have limited benefits."

004Tarkeeth - Koala habitat converted to plantation

Dr. Cadman's video "shows active and recent conversion of original forest and koala habitat to plantation inside the proposed Greater Koala Park, undertaken by #NSWForestry despite repeated warnings. This is what clearfall forestry looks like."

Is Forestry Corporation NSW creating a fire risk for local residents?

"Residents and ecologists express bushfire concern over debris left after logging in Ourimbah State Forest."

"State government-owned Forestry Corporation NSW (FCNSW) logged in the Ourimbah State Forest between July and August last year...Debris including stumps, logs, bark and fallen trees were left behind."

"Ecologist Mark Graham, who visited the Ourimbah State Forest before the most recent logging operation, said the debris was "a threat to human life and property" and could result in "more frequent fires". There's people surrounding the whole area from about a couple of hundred metres onwards."

"Logging has made the forest more vulnerable."

"Australian National University ecologist Professor David Lindenmayer said logging a forest makes it more dangerous because it can drastically increase the severity of a fire burning through the area."

Tuckers Nob Forest future still uncertain

"Two months after the Minister for Agriculture, Tara Moriarty, ordered Forestry Corporation of NSW (FCNSW) to temporarily suspend logging in Tuckers Nob, there is still no clear indication of what the future holds for the ecologically sensitive area."
"The Department of Primary Industry is presently undertaking a further assessment of the proposed logging of Tuckers Nob compartments 26 and 27 in respect of how the Unique and Special Wildlife Values within the forest may be impacted."

"The hollows would have been visible when the tree was standing."

"Forestry Corporation NSW sentenced for felling hollow-bearing trees in Mogo State Forest. FCNSW was fined $20,000 and ordered to pay more than $84,000 in legal costs to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA)."

FCNSW "was also ordered to widely publicise the judgement on its social media accounts and through a paid advertisement in the local newspaper and the Sydney Morning Herald within 60 days of the judgement."

"Under the Coastal Integrated Forestry Operations Approval (CIFOA), the state-owned timber corporation responsible for managing more than 2 million hectares of public land is required to retain any hollow-bearing trees during harvesting operations. Such hollows typically form in trees more than 150 years old."

"Hollow bearings are protected in NSW legislation because they take so long to form, and more than 300 Australian native species rely on them for shelter.

Saving koalas from extinction on the Mid North Coast of NSW

"The Bellingen Environment Centre (BEC) has called on the Government to suspend all logging within the proposed Great Koala National Park as consultation for the Koala Park begins in Coffs Harbour."

“If logging is allowed to continue within the boundaries of the proposed Great Koala National Park, koalas and a large number of other critically threatened and endangered animals will suffer.”

“The industrial logging that we are seeing at Pine Creek is an environmental and economic disaster and not only a major threat to koalas, but it’s also a serious waste of taxpayers’ dollars and undermines the $190 million NSW Government Koala Strategy.”

“Labor needs to listen to health and environmental scientists, not a single industry, and place a moratorium on logging immediately."

Outrage as endangered species living in forest goes unnoticed by loggers chopping it down. 'Nothing to see here': Greater gliders, yellow-bellied gliders, koalas and powerful owls.

“Forestry Corporation admitted that they don’t do surveys for the nocturnal greater gliders at night! No wonder they aren’t finding any — they don’t want to find them, as it would seriously restrict their operations,” CEO Jacqui Mumford

"Endangered marsupials have been discovered inside a forest that was being chopped down by the NSW government, prompting calls for its operations to be suspended across dozens of sites across the state."

"After the Environmental Protection Agency was asked to intervene this week, NSW Forestry Corporation voluntarily asked its contractors to cease operations at the Styx River State Forest which borders the Cathedral Rock National Park, west of Coffs Harbour. It’s the second time since August the state-owned agency has been forced to down chainsaws because of the discovery of greater gliders."

Displaced koala found adjacent to a clearfell logging operation in the proposed Great Koala National Park

"The National Parks Association NSW (NPA) has obtained video of a likely displaced koala barely 40m from the edge of a clearfelled logging coupe in Pine Creek State Forest within the proposed Great Koala National Park (GKNP).
Koala Hubs contain critical multi generational koala populations and their habitat. Logging of Koala Hubs within the proposed GKNP was suspended by the NSW Government last September, but unfortunately Koala Hubs in plantations were not included in the decision and continue to be logged."

Logging and koalas do not mix
Spoiler: End native forest logging altogether, seek World Heritage protection for these forests.

"Koalas cannot read maps, and do not understand human zoning. If their habitat in plantations is cleared, they die – just as we’ve seen in Victoria, where deaths of koalas in blue gum plantations have made national news."

"For a koala-protecting National Park to actually protect koalas, it must be based on the identification and reservation of high value habitat – such as hardwood plantations. If we leave all plantations out, some of the best habitat in the park will continue to be logged. Without plantations, the park will be filled with holes, severing critical corridors and hampering the movement of koalas."

What should we do?
"We have to restore the areas lost to logging and the Black Summer bushfires and flag more forested areas for inclusion – especially unburnt habitat. And the government has to end logging within the proposed park area. If we want a viable alternative, the government should begin new plantations outside the park area and buy out existing logging contracts inside the park. Logging and koalas do not mix."

"We should give up on the idea of protecting koala “hubs”. Instead, we should prioritise the protection of koala populations unaffected by fire and in untouched forest areas wherever they are, whether inside or outside of these hubs.
Every bit of habitat on public land should be ruled in, as this is what counts, not zoning. Local communities – not just the forest industry and environment groups – need to be included in negotiations. The government should also consider community efforts to seek World Heritage protection for these forests."

Let forests grow old (to store huge volume of carbon – study)

“Conserving forests, ending deforestation and empowering people who live in association with those forests has the power to capture 61% of our potential. That’s huge. It’s potentially reframing forest conservation. It’s no longer avoided emissions, it’s massive carbon drawdown, too."

“To restore global biodiversity, ending deforestation must be a top priority. At Cop26 in 2021, world leaders pledged to halt and reverse deforestation by the end of this decade, although data shows that countries are currently off track."

EPA blasts NSW Forestry’s incompetent greater glider population survey

"The NSW Forestry Corporation failed to properly search a forest for endangered greater gliders before logging their den trees, a watchdog has alleged."

"The Environment Protection Authority has released successive stop-work orders issued to the state-owned corporation over its conduct in the Tallaganda State Forest, east of Canberra. They were enforced after a dead glider was found in the forest in late August, about 50 metres from where trees were being felled."
