An alarming report released by the Natural Resources Commission (NRC) in the leadup to National Threatened Species Day (today), identifies the extent of state forests occupied by endangered greater gliders has declined by two-thirds over 27 years, and within the remaining occupied habitat populations have collapsed by a similar amount.

Some of NSW’s most respected and long-standing forest campaigners and scientists have today urged the Greens not to support the Nationals' attempt to disallow the Improved Native Forest Management (INFM) method.

The North East Forest Alliance says it's outrageous that yesterday the Forestry Corporation began logging the homes of another source koala population in the proposed Richmond River Koala Parks.

Native forest logging is again in the spotlight in NSW, following Monday night’s Four Corners investigation into Forestry Corporation NSW’s failure to protect nationally endangered species.

Environmental activists say they’ve temporarily stopped logging in Cherry Tree state forest near Casino today by locking onto machinery.

The Forestry Corporation’s loss of $32 million from its hardwood logging operations last year, coupled with their ongoing failure to honour wood supply agreements, shows that logging public native forests is an economic basket-case and not a viable business, according to NEFA spokesperson Dailan Pugh.

The Forest Alliance NSW has strongly criticised the Minns’ government budget for failing to allocate the money needed to deliver its promised Great Koala National Park and future forest industry reform.

The North East Forest Alliance is concerned that the NSW government’s recently announced Independent Forestry Panel is not actually independent. NEFA is calling for the appointment of a forest ecologist to provide some balance.

Pugh’s Frog (Philoria pughi) has recently been uplisted to nationally Endangered, with logging identified as a threat, leading the North East Forest Alliance to call upon the NSW and federal environment ministers to immediately change the logging rules to protect its habitat from logging.

Logging access was blocked to Clouds Creek State Forest on Monday by local community members who were supported by Greens MP Sue Higginson as they sought to prevent logging road operations and protect endangered species in the forest.
