Deadline Looms for Native Forest Petition

The future of native forest logging hangs in the balance with an important petition to the NSW parliament fast approaching its August deadline. The North East Forest Alliance has added its voice to environmental leaders from around Australia calling for NSW citizens to sign up and share this vital opportunity to force our government to act on our community’s calls to protect our forests and the koalas and other endangered species who live in them.
“Native forest logging is a sepia toned anachronism. We can no longer afford to support the tiny sectional interests who profit from logging our water catchments, carbon sinks, wildlife’s homes and tourism magnets. Now is the time to act to make our representatives listen to reason and end native forest logging for good.” said North East Forest Alliance spokesperson Sean O’Shannessy.

“NSW people overwhelmingly support protecting our koalas and other endangered critters. This week we have a precious opportunity to force the parliament to debate this vital issue. We must act now or the August deadline will slip past us and our irreplaceable forests will be one step closer to extinction. Please sign and share this petition today. Together we can make NSW a safe place for our forest dependent koalas and their friends” Mr O’Shannessy said
