  1. We have the proof that logging makes Tasmania’s forests more flammable
    Lots of regrowth, lots more fire

    "Regrowth does indeed burn more intensely than mature forests. Some experts suggested forests regrowing from logging were a key factor in the huge area burned during the notorious 2019–20 fire season, though others have disputed this."

    "Recent research has shown commercial thinning of regrowth in Tasmania doesn’t reduce the risk of fire, because bark, limbs and smashed trunks left after logging act as fuel." >>

  2. Large-scale mechanical thinning of biodiversity
    Forests as machine-accessible landscapes

    ""Large-scale mechanical thinning operations are essentially a waste of money. At worst, they degrade forests, making them more flammable, eroding habitat, compromising water security and compacting soils."

  3. Australia has new laws to protect nature. Do they signal an end to native forest logging?

    "There is a straightforward way to avoid the ecological, administrative, and financial problems created by native forest logging – stop it altogether. The evidence shows ending native forest logging would deliver significant benefits for biodiversity, forest ecosystems, and reduce fire risks."

  4. Forests, roads and mega fires
    "More roads are associated with more fires"

    "A problem arises when forest managers look at forests exclusively “through the lens of timber and dollar signs on trees."

  6. #Food #ClearingOut #Thinning #Recipies

    I did a thing. Decades of collected, duplicate, and or rarely used recipes purged. I was the food preparer for over 35 years for group home residents, and staff, as well as my own family. I still saved about 80 well proven cards, or ones written by folks I worked with and liked, plus my own favorites.

  7. Minister told that beef producers aren’t a deforestation risk

    "The Wilderness Society found that beef production was linked to 66 per cent of land clearing in Queensland in 2019-20 in areas where 342 federally listed threatened species were known or likely to live."

    "The European Parliament has imposed tough environmental rules on imports that focus on stopping land clearing and forest loss in the countries that supply it with agricultural goods."

    “Australia is one of the world’s deforestation hot spots,” Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek

    "Australia is a signatory to the Glasgow leaders’ Declaration on Forests and Land Use and is committed to halting forest loss by 2030."

  8. #WillowTit used to be a common #forest species in Finland. 2019 it was classified as #endangered on the Red List because of drastic population declines.
    A new 30 year study suggests main culprit is intensive #forestry:
    "The #EvenAged #forest #management has caused habitat loss for the #WillowTit which has affected the spatial breeding distribution measures and probably has a major role in the #population #decline of the species."
