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.”

CW: Histoire de la consommation de sucre 🧶
La consommation de sucre remonte à environ 8 000 avant J.-C. en Nouvelle-Guinée, où les populations autochtones ont domestiqué pour la première fois la canne à sucre en sélectionnant la variété Saccharum robustum. Depuis la Nouvelle-Guinée, la culture de la canne à sucre s'est répandue dans toute l'Asie du Sud-Est, en Chine et en Inde grâce aux commerçants maritimes. La technique de raffinage chimique du sucre est apparue pour la première fois en Inde il y a environ 2 500 ans, et ce savoir s'est répandu vers la Chine, l'Iran et les premiers mondes islamiques.
« Au XIVe siècle, Chypre et la Sicile étaient devenues d'importantes productrices de sucre pour les Européens. Ce succès a encouragé certains riches à étendre l'industrie sucrière aux îles de l'Atlantique et aux Amériques. À [la fin du XVIe siècle], des quantités croissantes de sucre étaient importées des plantations sucrières ("engenhos") du Brésil. Ces engenhos exigeaient le travail forcé des peuples autochtones et, de plus en plus, des esclaves africain·es, qui travaillaient dans des conditions épouvantables pour broyer la canne à sucre, en extraire le jus et le faire bouillir à haute température afin de produire de la mélasse, qui était ensuite expédiée vers l'Europe dans de grands tonneaux appelés "hogsheads". Les débuts de l'industrie sucrière mondiale constituent une partie importante de l'histoire des débuts de la traite transatlantique des esclaves. »

Koalas face death, attacks and mass starvation from monoculture plantations
Cost-effective management techniques for Australian wildlife"...Displaced animals were sometimes still up in trees that were felled and ended up with broken bones, or were orphaned babies left behind. Others were attacked by cows or dogs."
"A 2023 study of reported wild koala deaths in south-east Queensland found vehicles were responsible for about half (1,431) of all fatalities."

Un appel contre #Bolloré : « Bloquons ses plateaux télés, occupons ses dépôts pétroliers, soutenons les luttes syndicales à l’intérieur de ses entreprises et médias, vendangeons ses vignes, redistribuons son fuel domestique à celleux qui galèrent à se chauffer, traquons le traceur, tissons des alliances internationales, organisons des boycotts, virons ses chaînes de la TNT et soutenons la création et l’assise de contre-pouvoirs médiatiques puissants ! »

📖 In a paper published in the Journal of Ethnobiology, Marta Macedo examines "how cannabis was part and parcel of the lives of peoples from Angola recruited to São Tomé and, consequently, of the island's plantation worlds in the late nineteenth century." 🇸🇹

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."
