🚨 Up to 2,000 tree ferns ripped from a forest on the logging schedule. These slow-growing giants are sold to buyers as far away as the UK & in Australia, they're sold as mulch and stepping stones in hardware stores, including Bunnings. It’s time to end native forest logging!

Ancient trees are the lungs of our planet and provide vital homes to countless species. Logging native forests tears apart these fragile ecosystems. It must end. Now. #politas

I wonder, @PennySharpemlc… does this deeply upset you? Land clearing in NSW surged by 40% in 2023 - putting it on par with palm oil deforestation in Indonesia. Koalas can’t survive this. Words do nothing, time for a #KoalaProtectionAct smh.com.au/environment/conse…
‘Perverse outcomes’: NSW a deforestation hotspot on par with Indonesia

‘Perverse outcomes’: NSW a deforestation hotspot on par with Indonesia

Land-clearing in NSW has surged by 40 per cent as the Minns government is yet to ditch rules driven by former Nationals leader John Barilaro after more than two years in government.

I'm moving to Minneapolis

Is your city as cool as Minneapolis?? Minneapolis hosts an annual “Cat Tour.” Neighbors put their cats in the window and crowds show up in droves to admire them and show respect. It’s been going on for 8 years.

Trump is threatening 200% tariffs on Australia's 3rd biggest export, pharmaceuticals. US big pharma hates our PBS – it buys medicine cheap & saves Australians $$. Aus Gov can look after Australians by standing firm & not subjecting us to US prices. Read: australiainstitute.org.au/po…

We’re going to need a bigger scale.. The exceptional mediterranean heatwave continues with anomalies close to 8°C above average. This is around 9 standard deviations above normal. 5 is considered an exceptional, once in a several thousand year event. This is EXTREME.

Greenland’s Ice Sheet Collapse Could Be Closer Than We Think

We don’t need to monetise the carbon in the forests! Tell Premier Minns - he can protect forests, gliders and koalas now without carbon credits. Logging must end now to combat the climate and biodiversity crises. Use our easy to use submission nswforests.org/protect-fores…
