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.”

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."

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."

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."

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.
