BellingenNSW<p>After the closure of VicForests, The Healthy Forests Foundation is reborn - the new face of logging in Victoria</p><p>"VicForests' June 30 closure followed allegations of widespread and illegal logging, referrals to corruption watchdogs and revelations the organisation had spied on conservationists."</p><p>The Healthy Forests Foundation <br>""The aim is just to work out ways to keep cutting the forest. It's a front — it's just a way of keeping the [logging] industry going. It's kind of like the 'healthy smoking foundation'..Professor Lindenmayer, who spent decades studying the impacts of logging on forests, described the Healthy Forests Foundation as "greenwashing on steroids".</p><p>"The Healthy Forests Foundation says its purpose is to promote First Nations forest management, which proponents admit will also supply timber. One Indigenous leader said the Healthy Forests Foundation looked like "black cladding" — a way for largely non-Indigenous industries to gain access to resources by taking advantage of Indigenous peoples' access...It is not self-determination. It is tokenism."<br>&gt;&gt;<br><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-08/vicforests-closure-healthy-forests-foundation-logging/104194836" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">abc.net.au/news/2024-08-08/vic</span><span class="invisible">forests-closure-healthy-forests-foundation-logging/104194836</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/LoggingIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LoggingIndustry</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/VicForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VicForests</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ImpressionManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ImpressionManagement</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/GeenWashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GeenWashing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/BlackCladding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackCladding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/extractivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>extractivism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/EndNativeForestLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EndNativeForestLogging</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FirstNationsPeoples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FirstNationsPeoples</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NativeForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NativeForests</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conservation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a></p>

Climate change poses a further risk." </p><p>"Since the southern greater glider was listed as vulnerable in 2016, its habitat continued to be destroyed. This is poor management for many reasons:</p><p> gliders often die on site when their habitat is disturbed</p><p> young forests recovering after disturbances tend to be hotter and drier, which is bad for gliders because they are heat-sensitive</p><p> removing hollow-bearing trees not only destroys a key part of glider habitat immediately, but it can take decades (if not centuries) for forest to become suitable again</p><p> logging makes forests more flammable and gliders are particularly sensitive to fire</p><p> logging can change the composition of tree species in a forest, reducing the availability of quality food for gliders."</p><p>"Logging those refuges is nonsensical given the large body of scientific work demonstrating its negative effects.

BellingenNSW<p>Logging and koalas do not mix<br>Spoiler: End native forest logging altogether, seek World Heritage protection for these forests.</p><p>"Koalas cannot read maps, and do not understand human zoning. If their habitat in plantations is cleared, they die – just as we’ve seen in Victoria, where deaths of koalas in blue gum plantations have made national news." </p><p>"For a koala-protecting National Park to actually protect koalas, it must be based on the identification and reservation of high value habitat – such as hardwood plantations. If we leave all plantations out, some of the best habitat in the park will continue to be logged. Without plantations, the park will be filled with holes, severing critical corridors and hampering the movement of koalas." </p><p>What should we do?<br>"We have to restore the areas lost to logging and the Black Summer bushfires and flag more forested areas for inclusion – especially unburnt habitat. And the government has to end logging within the proposed park area. If we want a viable alternative, the government should begin new plantations outside the park area and buy out existing logging contracts inside the park. Logging and koalas do not mix."</p><p>"We should give up on the idea of protecting koala “hubs”. Instead, we should prioritise the protection of koala populations unaffected by fire and in untouched forest areas wherever they are, whether inside or outside of these hubs. <br>Every bit of habitat on public land should be ruled in, as this is what counts, not zoning. Local communities – not just the forest industry and environment groups – need to be included in negotiations. The government should also consider community efforts to seek World Heritage protection for these forests." <br>Tim Cadman, Danielle Clode<br>&gt;&gt;<br><a href="https://theconversation.com/a-home-among-the-gum-trees-will-the-great-koala-national-park-actually-save-koalas-217276" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theconversation.com/a-home-amo</span><span class="invisible">ng-the-gum-trees-will-the-great-koala-national-park-actually-save-koalas-217276</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conservation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/logging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>logging</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Koalas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Koalas</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/LoggingIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LoggingIndustry</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NSWForestry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NSWForestry</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/extinction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>extinction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SaveTuckersNob" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SaveTuckersNob</span></a> #<a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/restoration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>restoration</span></a> WorldHeritage <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Biodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ClimateEmergency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateEmergency</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/EndNativeForestLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EndNativeForestLogging</span></a></p>
