Loggers accused of 'botching' greater glider searches

"Australia’s greater gliders are on the verge of extinction and new regulations were supposed to protect them from loggers. But a new report alleges they’ve been breached 188 times since they were enforced in February."

“Yet again Forestry Corporation [of] NSW has shown itself to be a rogue operator by repeatedly flouting rules meant to protect threatened and endangered species like the iconic Greater Glider."

"Greater gliders were listed as endangered in 2023 and habitat loss has been flagged as a major contributor of their destruction."
