The Greater Glider is present throughout the area proposed for the GFNP and the work to recover this animal will be based on retaining all 1939, recruitment of new forests and installing nest boxes and hollow hogs where appropriate. We need to fix the mess forestry has made. #GFNP

In a surprising bonus extension, the people of Victoria get another week to fill out the map and survey for a new park for the central highlands. engage.vic.gov.au/central-highla… #gfnp

Seems we have a one week extension- so if you haven’t had a chance to engage, get to it. It’ll take 5-10mins and you’ve done your bit to craft a new park for Melbourne Naarm engage.vic.gov.au/project/centra… 🌳

#ANUExpert Dr Simon Quilty, who works in Australia's Northern Territory, stresses that more outback doctors are needed for people and the planet. Here's why: bit.ly/49MfZsj

Hey USDA Forest Service and Senator Jeff Merkley, after tuning into the interior approps hearing today, maybe it's time to recognize the vital role dead/dying trees play in forest ecosystems. They deserve protection from overly aggressive 'forest health prescriptions'. #StopTheChop

#Plannedburns flames kill wildlife, agreed. But smoke asphyxiation could be even worse! Every bird and arboreal mammal within this Mt Albert burn suffered many hours of smoke inhalation.
How many got lucky & survived?

🚨🚨An urgent unfolding climate disaster in WA: the rest of Australia pay attention

After our hottest & driest summer ever recorded, large areas of forests are dying in Western Australia

A Mountain Ash love story. Only 90 minutes from the G (my other great love). A great city like Melbourne needs a Great Forest National Park.

Published in Science Magazine! A bill now under consideration in the Brazilian Congress proposes to remove protection from the country’s 48 Mha of native grasslands, endangering biodiversity and our life quality:

The fact that this isn’t self-evident and accepted is disturbing.

Time for a Great Forest NP in Victoria. How about it Steve Dimopoulos MP? Your constituents want one. The children are saying Pretty please! #savethetrees #savetheforests #greatforestnationalpark

Please send ⁦Steve Dimopoulos MP⁩ , our Minister for Tourism and Environment, a postcard saying you’d like the establishment of a Great Forest National Park for Victoria. He says he needs encouragement from Victorians. #nationalpark4vic #savethetrees Something like this:

Excellent launch of David Lindenmayer’s new book The Forest Wars tonight. In conversation with ⁦Dr Monique Ryan MP⁩. It’s time to protect Victoria’s beautiful mountain ash with the creation of the Great Forest National Park. Tell ⁦Steve Dimopoulos MP⁩ you want one. #savetheforests

Brilliant decision, Tanya Plibersek.

More decisions like this, please!
