‘Minds were blown’: These scientists were stunned at what’s happening on the NSW North Coast

“This means Forestry Corporation NSW plans to log three times more compartments of state forest within the proposed Great Koala National Park over the next year than they did over the last two years combined"

“It is spectacular. All the variants of this Gondwana rainforest – cool and warm, temperate rainforest and also the subtropical rainforest – is something that is so unique globally that you wouldn’t find it in this particular combination elsewhere... Professor Helge Bruelheide, professor of botany at the University of Helle in Germany, was stunned by what he has seen exploring the forests in and around the promised Great Koala National Park on the state’s North Coast this week."

“The tempo, the scale, the intensity of logging has all ramped up since labour was elected. It is a pillage. It’s a smash-and-grab operation by a loss-making Crown corporation. They are jamming boiled lollies in their mouth as they bolt down the street,” say Graham, who feels let down by Labor."

"One of the reasons the Victorian industry was eventually closed was because citizen scientists proved the state loggers were not properly protecting greater gliders. The failures cost VicForests millions of dollars in fines and access to forests it needed."

"As the legal challenges wind their way through the courts, the NCC is about to ramp up the pressure by announcing the creation of Breachwatch, a network of volunteers trained and equipped to monitor, record and report evidence of Forestry Corp breaches."

Why are international pledges for forest protection in the Congo Basin so difficult to implement? Experts say that the money being pledged is not nearly enough.

“The problem today, for the past 50 or 60 years, has exactly been this: that we have come up with a lot of acronyms, a lot of things that have not contributed to a better livelihood for the local communities that live in these forests,” says Paolo Cerutti, CIFOR.

Awesome day exploring the next to s

Started off by visiting Cumberland Mountain State Park site of the seven arches bridge and the Cumberland Homesteads Projects of the New Deal era.

This bridge was constructed by men of the Civilian Conservation Corps circa 1935.

This and other projects would see 250 families settled onto the Cumberland Plateau during the height of the Great Depression 1/n

: river phoenix was born in 1970 & i celebrate his short (but impactful) life by trying to transfer his essence in lines & colour. his prescience was staggering.
i know he'd still be the most badarse plant-eater on earth if he hadn't tangoed with the medicine he used to numb himself to the pain of this world - but at least the costa rican rainforest he bought with his hollywood money is protected still.
