On @InThoseDays podcast we discussed the gliders court case with Felicity Law. This case was a big win for small community environment groups Kinglake Friends of the Forest, Gippsland Environment Group and Environment East Gippsland @KinglakeForest

VicForests is now required to properly survey forest before logging and protect glider habitat if they are found.

It could mean the end of native forest logging in Victoria and someone could make a movie about it, I reckon.

On @InThoseDays we spoke to my cousin Felicity Law who has been involved in forest activism and the very successful greater glider court case in Victoria.

We looked back into the newspaper archives to see that threats to greater gliders from habitat loss was understood decades ago.

We no longer call them flying squirrels but VicForests is still cutting down their habitat.

I tagged a lot of the newspaper articles I found on greater gliders in #Trove. This should make them more findable in the future as greater gliders were often referred to as 'flying squirrels' or 'flying phalangers' in the past.

We talked with forest defender Felicity Law about gliders in the latest episode of In Those Days. Searching the newspaper archives in #Trove I found out gliders were called 'flying squirrels' or 'flying phalangers' in the olden days.

These days greater gliders and yellow-bellied gliders are threatened species and we need to save their habitat.

Logging on hold up at Mt Stirling as a result of the recent #GreaterGliders court case win(s)! "...VicForests is not currently conducting (logging) operations in all Forest Management Areas across Victoria."

#Introduction. I write books for young people - published by University of Queensland Press.

I've just finished a qualification in Information Management and would like to work in a public library. I love the National Library of Australia's digital archive Trove and have a podcast called In Those Days discussing newspaper articles that have a personal connection to a guest.

I try to mention the climate crisis a fair bit on social media. I'm particularly interested in the extent of fossil fuel sponsorships in Australia and how these extend social license.

I support campaigns to end native forest logging in Victoria.

I often analyse people through the prism of what netball position they play, or which BSC member they are most like. If I'm honest, I am a WD and a Mallory.
