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.”

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."

The history of forests
We are Forests: Inhabiting Territories in Struggle, Jean-Baptiste Vidalou
Translated by Stephen Muecke

"Governments try to deny it since their interests are placed in other places. They talk about sustainability, ecological transition, and zero carbon economy, but it’s all just a show. Behind the scenes rules the same extracting logic. The various mechanisms for reducing gas emissions due to deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) are only an illusion when they are directly linked to carbon credits and compensation mechanisms. Timber companies continue to fiercely exploit the forests and, at the same time, pride themselves as “acting for the climate”. The cynicism goes even further when these companies, with the support of governments, drive out local populations in the name of global forest management. According to these companies, the native peasants do not have the knowledge required to exploit these territories. They do not fully “own” the land since they do not capitalize it. A paternalist colonial approach indeed!"

"All of today’s modernized forestry, with its super-powered harvesters and heavy loaders, is geared towards this one purpose: planned harvesting and rapid product exploitation."

Save Tucker Nob State Forest
Koala @ Tuckers Nob Oct 2023 video

They say there are no koalas in Tuckers Nob State Forest (026/027)
They say there is no remnant vegetation in the NSW Forest Corporation floral assemblage.
They say there are no threatened species in NSW state forests.

The government corporation is planning to log and clear-fell Tuckers Nob SF
This is to take place during the prime breeding cycle of the koalas.
Numerous plants and animals will lose their home and maybe lives.

Stop logging in a biodiversity crisis
Stop logging native forests in a climate emergency

Government Correction of claims within Michael West Media article ‘Secret Forest: Australia rivals the Congo on deforestation, blocks media access to world scientists'

"During the decade to 2020, Australia recorded an increase in forested area of 4.4 million hectares – the second largest increase of any nation recorded in that period according the to the FAO Global Forest Resource Assessment."

"The Australian Government remains committed to transparent and consistent sustainable forest management criteria and indicator reporting..."

Bellingen's Tuckers Nob Forest remnant vegetation to be logged

Inside Tuckers Nob State Forest (26/27) Dr. Tim Cadman documented threatened species (again). Many rainforest trees, such as threatened Ringwoods were identified. Syzygium anisatum/Anetholea anisata is endemic to the subtropical Bellinger Valley.

The background acoustics (in the video) is the fossil fuel machinery bashing their way through the native forest. (Hillier Trail) It is making the home of diverse and threatened wildlife and plants machine-ready for the clear-felling machines.

"Peer-reviewed scientific research here and overseas suggests clear-felling has serious, long-term and negative ecological effects. Such concerns have led to clear-felling being reviewed, modified, and in some cases, abandoned in developed countries such as the United States and Canada."
