BellingenNSWNSW forestry agency should be shut down for repeatedly breaking law, critics argue"Professor David Heilpern, a former court magistrate, claims the NSW Forestry Corporation is no longer fit for purpose and should be disbanded. A former magistrate and one of Australia’s most experienced scientists have launched an extraordinary attack on the New South Wales government’s logging agency, describing it as effectively a “criminal organisation” that should be shut down after a string of court convictions.""The corporation has been convicted of more than a dozen environmental offences, including a judgment in the land and environment court last year that found the agency was likely to reoffend and had poor prospects of rehabilitation.They get caught, investigated, prosecuted, a criminal conviction, a fine – which the public pays – and they carry on and do it all again."“There is just no integrity, accountability or justice in this model of operation.”“For the Forestry Corporation, breaking the law and harming the environment and wildlife has become like a game of charades played under the protection of the state." >> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/may/11/nsw-forestry-agency-called-criminal-organisation-by-critics" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/may/11/nsw-forestry-agency-called-criminal-organisation-by-critics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/LoggingImpacts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LoggingImpacts</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/LoggingIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LoggingIndustry</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NSWLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NSWLogging</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/BellingenLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BellingenLogging</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SaveTuckersNob" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SaveTuckersNob</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/crime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#crime</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/harm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#harm</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#biodiversity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#conservation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/TheGreatKoalaNationalPark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheGreatKoalaNationalPark</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/governance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#governance</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/accountability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#accountability</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/extractivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#extractivism</a>

BellingenNSWAs they are logging and clear-cutting the koala forests around Bellingen"While local perspectives can be misleading, from a global perspective, clear-cutting and clear-cutting-like interventions are endangering the climate and biodiversity. Allowing trees to age, preserving deadwood, and allowing natural regeneration with adapted game populations would have a positive effect on the climate and help mitigate forest damage. This would be active climate and biodiversity protection and should be promoted politically." "Politicians have a duty to achieve the climate targets and to impose clear obligations on enterprises.""Businesses, including the forestry and timber industry, are well-informed about the climate and biodiversity crises and must be held accountable for faulty conduct.""The containment of environmental crime immediately needs clear laws with effective enforcement. Short-sighted economic activities at the expense of future generations and beyond planetary capacities should be made illegal and punished.""No more delaying, no more wait-and see, no more blame-shifting, no more beating around the bush—we need ambitious action in the right direction. Compliance with the Paris Climate Agreement is the narrow pathway into a future that might resemble the present. Will and efforts to preserve the climate and biodiversity roughly as we know them must be significantly strengthened. Reliable goals and ways of achieving climate neutrality as quickly as possible are the political order of the day. Forests should be no longer the third largest carbon emitter, but part of the solution that would reduce our current emission by around 15%."Open Access Book > Stop Rainforest Deforestation The Most Urgent Way of Combining Climate and Species Protection <a href="https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-58144-1_6" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-58144-1_6</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/deforestation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deforestation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NSWLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NSWLogging</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/BellingenLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BellingenLogging</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/extinction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#extinction</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#biodiversity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/destruction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#destruction</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/pesticides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pesticides</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/soil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#soil</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#water</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/laws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#laws</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/crime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#crime</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NativeForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NativeForests</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/plantations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#plantations</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/RemnantVegetation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RemnantVegetation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#climate</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/extractivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#extractivism</a>

BellingenNSWNSW's native forest logging industry ruled not 'economically viable'."The recommendation was made by the NSW Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) in its triennial analysis of the government-owned logging company Forestry Corporation of NSW.""It found Forestry Corporation's native timber operation had been steadily losing money over the past decade, in part due to delivering timber to sawmills for less than the cost of providing it.""It also noted concerns about logging making bushfires worse and damaging threatened species' habitat.""The revelation comes the same week that Forestry Corporation released its annual report, which shows it suffered a $29 million loss in its native logging division in the 2022-2023 financial year.

BellingenNSWKoala deaths though road and highway crashes“There were five koala deaths on this section of the Bruxner Highway in August alone and any protection measure we can take to reduce that toll is worth taking. A section of the highway between Lismore and Casino will have the speed reduced from 100km to 80km in a bid to reduce koala deaths...Members of the public regularly call us about koalas in roadside trees, which causes sleepless nights wondering if they will be the next ones hit that we have to pick up.” There seems to be a lack of impact data on the 'dispersed' koalas of the 'upgraded' Gleniffer 'Highway' through the industrially logged forests of Bellingen/Gleniffer. The 50s mobility design has achieved its goal, more traffic is speeding now.

BellingenNSWWhat’s so bad about a road? Roads are forest killers."A road means access. Once roads are bulldozed into rainforests, illegal loggers, miners, poachers and landgrabbers arrive. Once they get access, they can destroy forests, harm native ecosystems and even drive out or kill indigenous peoples. This looting of the natural world robs cash-strapped nations of valuable natural resources.""When ghost roads appear, local deforestation soars – usually immediately after the roads are built. We found the density of roads was by far the most important predictor of forest loss, outstripping 38 other variables. No matter how one assesses them, roads are forest killers." >> Ghost roads and the destruction of Asia-Pacific tropical forests <a href="https://theconversation.com/roads-of-destruction-we-found-vast-numbers-of-illegal-ghost-roads-used-to-crack-open-pristine-rainforest-227222" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theconversation.com/roads-of-destruction-we-found-vast-numbers-of-illegal-ghost-roads-used-to-crack-open-pristine-rainforest-227222</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/roads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#roads</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NativeForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NativeForests</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/rainforest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rainforest</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#biodiversity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/deforestation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deforestation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/extractivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#extractivism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/destruction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#destruction</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/LoggingIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LoggingIndustry</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NSWLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NSWLogging</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/BellingenLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BellingenLogging</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/access" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#access</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/LoggingImpacts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LoggingImpacts</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/mapping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mapping</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/roadless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#roadless</a>
