Jamez Barrett 🜃 ॐ Ⓐ30 years of forest defence in East Gippsland, Australia.This video remembers those forest defenders that have died. But an image of myself locked on to a log loader is at 11:11 min. I was arrested that morning at Goolengook. I spent two weeks in the forest in the winter of 1997 trying to stop the destruction of the ancient trees.In 2006 the State Government suspended logging while an independent (but government-appointed) assessment was initiated to determine if it should be added to the Victorian Conservation Reserve System.After ten years of campaigning for the protection of Goolengook, the Victorian State election of November 2006 saw the Australian Labor party returned, with a promise to protect the Goolengook block within a new National Park.<a href="https://c.im/tags/SaveForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SaveForests</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/StopLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StopLogging</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN7rh4L23Yw&ab_channel=GECOEastGippsland" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN7rh4L23Yw&ab_channel=GECOEastGippsland</a>

BellingenNSWThe impacts of extreme heat events on wildlife How koalas are trying to copeTemperatures are predicted to swelter above 40 degrees today in NSW. People are retreating into their coal-fired AC houses and AC combustion boxes. Dogs are offered drinking bowls at almost every door in Bellingen, but Australian animals are out there in a degraded landscape having to deal with the extreme heat we generate.Koalas are "using a tree species they don't feed on ... [hugging] the main trunks of trees and lower to the ground. We came up with the idea they were losing heat to the tree trunks. I found a colleague with a fancy thermal camera and went out in hot weather and it's exactly what they were doing. By pressing their body into the coolest tree they could find, the koalas halved their need to drink water in heatwaves. Hugging trees may not be enough for koalas to maintain their already dwindling distribution with rising average temperatures."Stop fossil fuels consumption Put out fresh water for wildlife >> <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2023-12-09/australian-animals-summer-heat-kangaroos-emus-termites-echidna/103120678" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2023-12-09/australian-animals-summer-heat-kangaroos-emus-termites-echidna/103120678</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ExtremeHeatwaves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExtremeHeatwaves</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FossilFuels</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Koalas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Koalas</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Bellingen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bellingen</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/StopLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StopLogging</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NativeForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativeForests</a>

BellingenNSWDespite $246.9 million in taxpayer money, Forestry Corporation still lost $28 million "The Nature Conservation Council of NSW has today released a new report from Frontier Economics which reveals for the first time that hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars have been gifted to the taxpayer owned logging business Forestry Corporation NSW over the past five years.""The report finds the taxpayer-owned logging business received $246.9 million worth of grants since 2019/20 financial year, while the hardwood division (which is responsible for native forest logging) made a loss of $28.2 million over the same period" >>. <a href="https://www.echo.net.au/2023/11/despite-246-9-million-in-taxpayer-money-forestry-corporation-still-lost-28-million/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.echo.net.au/2023/11/despite-246-9-million-in-taxpayer-money-forestry-corporation-still-lost-28-million/</a>"The NSW Government needs to come to terms with the fact that native forest logging is a dying industry and make a plan for a transition.

Poor financial performance and associated budgetary burdens associated with State run NFL operations are common across Australian jurisdictions.

BellingenNSWRe-establish koala populations on fragmented habitats"Where you've had a population grow from a small number of individuals, there's always potential for inbreeding.""Drones with thermal cameras have been used to count the koalas and sound recorders are being installed in national parks, and on Crown land and farms along a 100-kilometre stretch of the river.
