"We force animals to adapt to the constraints of farming modelled on the mass production of manufactured goods, whereas farming should respect the ethological needs of animals. This is a transgression because we grant ourselves an absolute right that we do not have. This violence towards animals is a condemnation of us. Yet our relationship with animals could be an opportunity to think about a way of inhabiting the Earth that makes coexistence with other species possible. This requires new foundations for ethics and politics."

– Corine Pelluchon

A yearning for the idyllic forest scene and cellulose factories

When they want to ‘get away from it all’ and ‘go for a drive’ through nature, the idyllic forest scene, they are in denial that the romantic craving for the bush turns out to be industrial plantations.

“Nature ... is a planned product of the forestry industry, a purely wisely placed storehouse for cellulose production, which is readily apparent.”
- The Man Without Qualities, Robert Musil, 1930

Drone locates 20 koalas in forest due to be logged next year

"A thermal drone imaging survey has been conducted over a plantation within the Great Koala National Park footprint. 20 koalas were detected over two nights at Tuckers Nob State Forest, which is due to be logged in the New Year."

The so called 'plantations' are more like native forests. Tuckers Nob forest must be included in the great koala national park. Video>>

Australia-wide ban on native-forest logging?

"The Greens have dropped their demand for a climate trigger to be incorporated in the government’s stalled Nature Positive legislation, indicating they are now prepared to pass the bills in return for a Australia-wide ban on native-forest logging alone."

“Closing the legal loopholes that allow large-scale native forest logging and land clearing to go unassessed will have tangible impacts for the protection of critical habitat in Tasmania, NSW, and northern Australia, where deforestation is out of control."

"As the foundation of modern political systems, the nature/culture divide had profound consequences for the production of a ‘science of man’, distinguishing between men and women, body and mind, civilised and savage, and arguably human and semi-human.
[…]
"Since the first steps of Columbus, the ‘colonial bioprospecting’ has been inventorying plant, mineral and animal species for profit. To it was added an ‘ethnoprospecting’, i.e. a universal census and classification of human species, which are also thought to have ‘different natures’. By becoming ‘as diverse as nature itself’, humanity is broken down into phenotypes rather than geographical origins, and we slide from a descriptive vision to a normative view, predisposed to hierarchy."
