Half of species under threat in NSW are on course to become extinct in next 100 years

Stop Logging and land clearing!

The review "found n a t i v e f o r e s t l o g g i n g was damaging f o r e s t e c o s y s t e m s and the habitat of native species and was scathing of the state’s offset scheme."

"Laws meant to protect the environment in New South Wales are failing and unlikely to ever succeed unless substantially changed, according to a scathing review that warns half of the species under threat in the state are on course to become extinct within the next 100 years."

"The independent review of the Biodiversity Conservation Act, released on Thursday, makes 58 recommendations to overhaul nature protections in the state and commit the government to preserving the environment for future generations."

The Bellingen logging sites, Tuckers Nob State forest, Gleniffer Road
It should have been a Great Koala National Park.
One can assume that the proposed logging along Tuckers Nob State forest, compartment 26/27 will also look like this.

New research shows: "Alarmingly, climate change is making bushfires more frequent."
Logging and 'thinning' Bellingen does too.

"We excluded deliberate burns such as hazard reduction (or prescribed) burns lit by fire authorities. We also excluded places that had been logged, because they’re known to be at a high risk of severe fire – and so including them would have skewed the results."

"Clearly, we must seek to limit the number of wildfires. An obvious response is to take more strident steps to tackle climate change. But even if humanity meets this huge global challenge, it will be a long time before we see demonstrable changes in climate conditions."

"More immediate options include managing vegetation to reduce flammability. For example, activities such as logging and thinning can make forests more flammable, so such practices should be halted in these vulnerable ecosystems."

"Greater efforts are needed to conserve biodiversity that is sensitive to fire, and to conserve ecosystems at risk of collapse. We must also embrace new technologies to detect wildfires as soon as they ignite, and suppress them as quickly as possible."

Clearcut logging is associated with more frequent extreme flooding, as well as more frequent floods of any size, according to new UBC research.
