The recent discovery of an endangered greater glider found dead next to a department logging site in Victoria has sparked outrage and calls for action to end native forest logging. This tragic incident sheds light on the devastating impact that logging activities can have on our precious wildlife and ecosystems.

The greater glider is a unique and iconic Australian marsupial that is listed as endangered due to habitat loss and fragmentation. These nocturnal creatures rely on old-growth forests for their survival, as they feed on eucalyptus leaves and require large, intact habitats to thrive. However, the ongoing native forest logging in Victoria is threatening the survival of the greater glider and other vulnerable species.

The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) has been logging native forests under the guise of ‘Forest Fire Management’, claiming that it is necessary to reduce fire risks and protect communities. However, this approach has been met with criticism from environmental groups and conservationists who argue that logging activities are actually increasing fire risks and destroying vital habitat for wildlife.

The discovery of the dead greater glider near a logging site is a stark reminder of the consequences of prioritizing logging over conservation. It highlights the urgent need to put an end to native forest logging and protect our precious forests and wildlife for future generations.

Environmental groups, such as the Bob Brown Foundation, have been at the forefront of the campaign to end native forest logging in Victoria. They are calling on the government to halt logging activities in critical habitats and implement sustainable forestry practices that prioritize conservation and biodiversity.

It is essential for policymakers to recognize the importance of protecting our natural environment and biodiversity. By conserving old-growth forests and protecting endangered species like the greater glider, we can ensure a healthy and sustainable future for all living beings.

In addition to the environmental impacts, native forest logging also has social and economic consequences. Many communities rely on forests for recreation, tourism, and cultural purposes. By preserving these forests and the wildlife that inhabit them, we can support local economies and promote sustainable development.

It is up to all of us to take action and demand change. By raising awareness about the damaging effects of native forest logging and advocating for conservation measures, we can make a difference and protect our precious natural heritage.

Together, we can work towards a future where native forests are preserved, wildlife is protected, and sustainable practices are prioritized. Let us join forces to end native forest logging and create a more harmonious relationship between humans and nature.
