BellingenNSW"The logging industry is finding ways to get around the so-called ban.""A loophole in the law banning Victoria's native timber harvesting means logging projects can still go ahead as the state government passes project approval responsibility to local councils.""How could it be that a local council would have the expertise, the biological and ecological expertise, to approve logging in an area? When you log and regenerate an area of native forest … that same area of forest becomes much more flammable for a prolonged period of time," Professor Lindenmayer said. "I don't think that we should be adding that extra fire burden for rural and regional people to have to deal with." >> <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-03/timber-harvesting-ban-loophole-victoria/105123078" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-03/timber-harvesting-ban-loophole-victoria/105123078</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/LoggingIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LoggingIndustry</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/LoggingImpacts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LoggingImpacts</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/bushfire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bushfire</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/risks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#risks</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conservation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biodiversity</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/forests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#forests</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NSWLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NSWLogging</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/BellingenLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BellingenLogging</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/council" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#council</a>

BellingenNSWDreams of environmental redemption: Reanimate the thylacine "Perhaps we want an iconic marsupial we can walk on a lead to our local brunch spot." "Certainly we are not up to the job: we have no experience in making thylacines happy. We have restructured the habitat where the tiger lived, decimated its prey, destroyed its culture. We have built a lot of roads: if everything goes very well and thylacines become as common as pademelons, we can look forward to seeing one on our morning commute, smeared across the highway by a logging truck.""More likely we are hoping for something to erase our guilt, not just for the extinction of this animal (we could blame someone else for that) but for all the extinctions to come. More likely we want to feel that the damage we do isn’t permanent, that we can travel back in time."

BellingenNSWBeware the criminalisation of environmental protest in Australia"Anti-protest laws of Tasmania and other Australian states should worry all who care about the environment and freedom of expression.""In the part of the Styx where Alishah and Brown found themselves, however, the rumble of logging trucks echoed through the trees. An area of the valley, less than a quarter of a mile from the Wilderness World Heritage Area and which included an old-growth forest, was being cut down by native forestry contractors.""The case of the Styx Valley protest has thrust Brown and the BBF into the spotlight and ignited discussion across Australia about the rights of protesters and of freedom of expression through activism. Notably, it has raised questions about the legitimacy of a suite of anti-protest laws which have been enacted across the country in recent years.""As the debate around the right to protest is being fought out in Australia’s judicial system, a key question has not received the scrutiny it deserves: As native forests are receiving greater protections in many countries around the world, why are they being cut down in Australia? >> <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/6/28/beware-the-criminalisation-of-environmental-protest-in-australia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/6/28/beware-the-criminalisation-of-environmental-protest-in-australia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/LoggingIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LoggingIndustry</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NativeForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativeForests</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/laws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#laws</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/governance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#governance</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/protests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#protests</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/rights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rights</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/activism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#activism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/EDO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EDO</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/UNESCO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UNESCO</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/WorldHeritageArea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WorldHeritageArea</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biodiversity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climate</a>
