is moving in on 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.

@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.
