Just weeks after fires ripped through masses of NSW forests, we’ve obtained evidence of unburnt forests being logged right now.
With so much forest destroyed by the fires, it’s critical we look after what’s left to ensure wildlife survives. Yet as you read this, some of the last prime habitat for nationally threatened species such as the Spotted-tailed Quoll and the Hastings River Mouse is being destroyed.
Despite unimaginable destruction from the summer of bushfire hell, it’s business as usual for industrial logging.
The government is keeping people in the dark about this crisis, but, we’ve obtained video footage of logging happening last week.
Will you watch and share the video to help us expose this outrage?

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian declared a State of Emergency when the bushfires were roaring. The truth is, for nature the state of emergency is continuing, yet the NSW Government is allowing industrial logging to continue.
The region around Styx River State Forest - halfway between Armidale and Nambucca Heads - was heavily burned in the catastrophic bushfires. The few healthy patches left are some of the most important unburnt habitat in the region for the Spotted-tail Quoll, Greater Glider and the Hastings River Mouse.
Over 100 hectares of Styx River State Forest has been logged since late 2019, destroying critical unburnt habitat and pushing threatened species closer to the brink of extinction.
This is a crisis and we need the NSW Government to take urgent action to stop the destruction of forests and protect wildlife now. The crisis has been exposed with video evidence of logging in threatened species habitat and now we need to make sure this cannot go ignored by our politicians.
