The morning after Western Australia legislated to ban logging, in Tasmania the logging of ancient forests was halted by another daily protest calling on political leaders to save this ancient forest and forests across the state from further destruction.

Bob Brown Foundation says Australia's worst native forest logging is currently underway in Tasmania's Central Highlands. The Foundation has recently carried out multiple forest protests in this area to highlight the critical need to end native forest logging. So far, four people have been arrested defending this forest.

Yesterday in nipaluna/Hobart, hundreds of concerned citizens joined the Fish Farms Out Now flotilla organized by Bob Brown Foundation, calling for fish farms to be removed from Tasmanian waters.
