Koalas at threat: Native Forest Logging in NSW | Stephen Long CNA

The Great Koala National Park is supposed to be a refuge for 1 in 5 of NSW's koalas. Yet, as the Australia Insitute's video reporting has uncovered, logging continues in the proposed bounds of the parks - with no end date in sight.
"The government wants to monetise the trees for carbon credits and it doesn't want to gazette the park until it has got a carbon credit method in place and approved." Stephen Long, Senior Fellow and Contributing Editor.

Native logging is insane ... cutting down a tree that's a hundreds of years old that takes hundreds of years to replace, is not logging that is mining.

I lived in this beautiful area not long ago, and was disturbed by the power of the Forestry Commission in their disregard for maintaining a healthy balanced environment, and in favour of those who held the power and influence to make money.
Fast forward to this. So, so sad that the money power influence is still the status quo. The greed of some humans is a toxicity on what is around us, it always has been so.
But now it is called "carbon credits".
It really comes down to a state of mind. And what I see here is a perpetuation of the toxic minds that have no understanding of the right to call a place "homeland". These money mongers are beneath contempt.

But the timber gets chipped and sent to Asia for processing and production into cheap, nasty paper products that are sold back to us. I hope Asia are aware of this. I hope she points that out.
