  4. #Bilbies, #bandicoots, #bettongs, and #quolls are making a comeback on these arid plains! Australia has the highest mammal extinction rate globally, but the Wild Deserts program is working hard to reverse that, with a dedicated team of scientists leading the charge. #WildlifeConservation #AustralianAnimals #Biodiversity #Extinction #australia

    A temporary win.

    ‘[The Supreme Court Justice] said Wombat Forestcare had established "serious questions to be tried" that planned timber harvesting in the coupe would not comply with VicForests' code, in relation to surveying for endangered mountain skink and three species of forest owls….

    ‘Wombat Forestcare provided written expert evidence to the court last week, which said the removal of wind-thrown trees was highly likely to cause irreparable damage to native animal habitat.  

    “Logs are valuable habitat components to threatened species,” the expert statement said.  

    “They should not be disturbed if serious and environmental damage to these species and their environments are to be avoided.” 

    When the matter returns to court on October 31, VicForests is expected to provide further evidence on why it determined it unnecessary to complete any surveys for reptiles.

    Wombat Forestcare will likely provide more evidence as to why it says VicForests should survey for spotted-tail quolls. 

    The 200-member community group will raise money to fund its court case, in particular to cover the cost of expert opinions, while the legal team is working pro bono.
    The group has been surveying the forest since it was established in 2006.
    In 2021, the Victorian government announced plans for much of the Wombat Forest to become part of a new national park, joining with Lerderderg State Park.
