Stop logging Glenbog State Forest
Forestry Corporation of NSW is considering logging 515 hectares of Glenbog State Forest on the far south coast of New South Wales. If this goes ahead, it will have serious impacts on wildlife.
Glenbog State Forest is a rare “cloud forest”—a high-altitude forest that has survived while most of the surrounding landscape has been cleared or developed.
The forest is home to threatened species like greater gliders and gang-gang cockatoos, which rely on large, old trees and intact habitat.
Wombats are also at risk as their burrows can be collapsed or buried by heavy machinery, and they may be buried alive. Tree-dwelling species like greater gliders will lose the shelter and food they rely on.
All of this is happening so forests can be turned into woodchips for international export—used to produce paper, packaging and fuel.
Wildlife habitat is being destroyed for short-term products used overseas.
There are more sustainable alternatives, like using plantation timber or other fast-growing materials instead of logging forests like Glenbog.
Tell decision-makers to not log Glenbog State Forest.
