#ForestryCorp is moving in on #Newry state forest, near Urunga, on Gumbaynggirr lands. Elders and activists are leading protest and trying to raise awareness. Please do all you can to help. As usual, Forestry Corp is playing fast and light with the law, and police were already at the site when people arrived.

"They were met with fencing and a contingent of police and fire officers, who doused a sacred fire lit by the protesters, before semi-trailers loaded with stripped logs drove out of the forest."

Newry is part of the highly endangered Gondawanan subtropical coastal/lowland rainforests - some of the oldest and most diverse forests in Australia, and some of the oldest on Earth.

Newry is a sacred site to the Gumbaynggirr for mens ritual, and many individual trees are culturally significant or sacred in their own right.

Forestry Corp NSW is entirely owned by the NSW Government, and has a history of blatantly breaking the laws it is supposed to operate under. Their operations have made consistent losses for years, requiring taxpayer subsidies in order to ensure the killing of our native rainforests can continue. Without these subsidies, it would stop.

Forestry Corp only exists because we allow it to.

@climatenews Just a reminder that in #NewSouthWales, #ForestryCorp are logging native subtropical rainforests that go back to the time of the Gondwanan supercontinent. The #EU needs to ban any Australian wood products that potentially originate from #NewSouthWales.

@inthehands It doesn't matter wether it's too late for humans or not. We fight for ALL life. Even if our time is over, we fight for the forests, the reef, the rivers, and the innumerable lives that call them home. End the fossil fuel companies. End the forestry and logging. End the bullshit.

@anna_lillith Same here with #ForestryCorp #NewSouthWales. State run logging of our ancient gondwanan #rainforest for hardwood trees they don't even turn a profit on
