In mountainous environments, logging can hasten snowmelt, leading to larger floods.
There’s no economic or environmental case for native logging. Yet taxpayer money is still being used to support it.
After almost 60 years, scientists have been able to prove an influential theory that wet eucalypt forest regrowth is more fire prone.
There’s a new plan to manage Victoria’s forests. But if it uses machines to ‘thin’ trees this could affect wildlife and increase bushfire risk.
We are still logging and degrading global forests at terrifying speed. How can we slow this destruction, including in Australia?
