Fire Management MUST follow best practice and the most up-to-date science. 🔥🔥 Instead of unscientific, inefficient planned burns, we're urging the Government to fund rapid detection and suppression technologies. ➡ chuffed.org/project/stop-p…

Ali Alishah & Anthony Houston arrested defending Lutruwita / Tasmania forests. “This rare alpine wet sclerophyll forest, is being logged to supply Ta Ann. Instead of greenwashing Borneo's timber mafia, #politas must protect these huge giants and the rainforest,” ~ Ali Alishah.

#FlowersOnFriday: Yellow Gum (Eucalyptus leucoxylon) flowering is going off here in Victoria! Trees both big and small are absolutely coated in the bright pink, yellow, red and cream blossoms, and the local birds are having a party! What's flowering near you? Show us! #LoveAGum

Two years on from Dan Andrews announcement that native forest logging of Victoria’s state forest will end, and still it continues. “It simply must end” … not on ⁦ForestFireManagement⁩ watch !!! premier.vic.gov.au/delivering-cer…

DON'T BURN GLOSSY HABITAT! 🔥 There are only 250 Glossies left in VIC, and FFMV plans to burn 13,000 ha of their crucial remaining habitat over the next three years. vnpa.org.au/action-ministe…

"The timber industry hailed the appointment of an ex-forestry minister to establish a new environmental watchdog." That really says it all. 🪵 ➡ independentaustralia.net/politics/polit…

"The minister insisted he wasn’t “picking sides” in the debate, having held phone calls with environment groups, such as Greenpeace and Australian Conservation Foundation, and industry groups such as the Minerals Council of Australia." ➡ theguardian.com/australia-news…

"The conference, organised by Friends of the Earth Melbourne, hosted 90+ people and recognised snow gums as an iconic feature of the Australian Alps." @foemelbourne Friends of the Earth #PROTECTSNOWGUMS

"Wherever they go, they leave a trail of destruction." from Friends of Bats and Habitat Gippsland "#FFMV recently lit up 80Ha of the Providence Ponds Reserve... Fire destroyed ancient Gippsland peppermints and banksias... old hollow trees on the roadside have been cut down. ➡ vnpa.org.au/action-ministe…

“For the Forestry Corporation, breaking the law and harming the environment and wildlife has become like a game of charades played under the protection of the state.” NSW Forestry Corp under fire: ➡ theguardian.com/australia-news…

FFMV wants to burn 13,000 hectares of Glossy Black Cockatoo habitat over the next 3 years. This would be a catastrophic event for this species already on the brink. 🔥🐦‍⬛ Email your reps here to ensure that Glossy habitat remains protected and unburnt: ➡ vnpa.org.au/action-ministe…

Now, more than ever, it's important that grassroots forest organising is able to stay afloat. 🔥 Donate to the VFA to support our campaign to rethink forest fire management, and ensure our native forests are protected. ➡ chuffed.org/project/stop-p… TWO WEEKS TO GO! 🌳💚

"The Snow Gum Declaration 2025 urges governments to immediately fund solutions to combat this dual threat to snow gum survival." @foemelbourne @foeaustralia ➡ melbournefoe.org.au/snow_gum_decla…

Here's what seven years of planned burns and mechanical works looks like 2020-2027. You want to hope that it's doing the right thing at this kind of scale? #FFMV Victorian Forest Alliance

How good are National Parks and protected areas 🫶 Time for Victoria to play our part and Declare a Great Forest National Park Steve Dimopoulos MP Jacinta Allan Sonja Terpstra 🐓 Shaun Leane

🚨 Still happening: massive log piles in a supposed Special Protection Zone inside future Wombat National Park. This is what "protection" looks like under current loopholes. Logging over? You’ve got to be kidding Chris Hardman. #loggingisntover #Loopholelogging

A shocking view from the air of Forestry Tasmania's destruction. "Wedge-tailed Eagles are endangered due to loss of habitat and will not survive the ongoing flattening of their critical breeding country," — our Campaign Manager, Jenny Weber. #politas bobbrown.org.au/tree-sit-prote…

Hard to understate how phenomenal this is. Landcape-scale conservation protects and connects habitat for wildlife like Critically Endangered Leadbeater's Possums. Ask Jacinta Allan to legislate the #centralwestparks for more magic! biodiversitycouncil.org.au/news/first-lea… via Biodiversity Council
