End native forest logging if Australia

Labor fails on the environment at national conference

"The Australia Institute’s poll on banning native forest logging was ignored in spite of the fact that key findings demonstrated seven in 10 Australians (69 per cent) support extending native forest logging bans to NSW and Tasmania.Three in four Labor voters and three in five Coalition voters support an end to logging".

"According to the letter, land clearing data released for Queensland and NSW confirmed more than 15 million hectares of forest and woodland (an area larger than greater Sydney) has been bulldozed in three years across the two states alone".

"Professor Hugh Possingham estimates for every 100 hectares bulldozed, as many as 500 native mammals,
2000 birds, and
15,000 reptiles die."

"In a 2022 ...forest ecologist, Professor David Lindenmayer from the ANU wrote that ending forest logging is the only way to meet Australia’s net zero target."
