‘Back the chainsaws’: Albo slammed amid calls to end decades-long ‘damaging’ forest logging

“Over 90 per cent of native forest that is logged in NSW is pulped and sent overseas to be used in woodchips and cardboard.”

“The NSW government has been covering the losses of the native forest logging industry for nearly a decade. It is not a profitable industry; in the past two years alone, $29 million of taxpayer money was spent subsidising native forest logging".

"...The NSW government's audit office found FCNSW did not consistently monitor compliance of its contractors or assess risks."

🤥 While @JustinTrudeau@twitter.com speaks at #COP15 a 3000 pound. 750 year old cutting of an old growth tree is currently in route to COP 15. In a few days Canada‘s hypocrisy will be revealed to the world. #endoldgrowthlogging #worthmorestanding

Only when we understand that our earth is like a mother, Mother Earth, will we really take care of her. We Tibetans, like the ancient Indian peoples, understand this interdependence: healthy earth, healthy animals, healthy plants, healthy forests, healthy water, healthy people. Mother Earth warns us today: "My children are behaving badly"; she is warning us that there are limits to our actions.

- The Dalai Lama

“The US is begging for forest protection in other nations while leveling mature and old-growth trees on our own national forests...recklessly selling off our children and grandchildren’s future.” #ClimateForests #WorthMoreStanding #SavePublicForests

Douglas Fir old growth. Walking the forest in the Qualicum backyard with my little sprout. Humbling.
