The original assessment was flawed and did not consider the presence of the #MaskedOwl. In a #Biodiversity #crisis, this is no place for a #SilicaMine expansion.

PROTECT TASMANIA'S ANCIENT RAINFORESTS
In 2021, the #EPATasmania approved an expansion of the Tasmanian Advanced Minerals #SilicaMine. This #mine expansion proposal proposed for a patch of forest just north of takayna, with old-growth Eucalypt, Blackwood, and #Rainforest. It is also habitat for #EndangeredSpecies like the #TasmanianDevil, #SpottedTailQuoll, and the Tasmanian #MaskedOwl.
