Australia is a world leader in species extinction and declines
Yet the koala’s feed trees keep falling...

"Since time immemorial, the Gumbaynggirr Nation has cared for country and we know that the Dunggirr is sacred to the First Nations peoples of Bellingen Shire."

"Koalas cannot read signs or distinguish boundaries between native forests, state forest plantations or your backyard."

"Over decades locals and tourists have come to know about the Gleniffer koalas, through registered sightings and expert evidence. Yet the koala’s feed trees keep falling, even though Forestry Corporation of NSW (FC NSW) has no social licence."

"After operating within our Shire for over three decades, FC NSW have deliberately withdrawn any connection with the community and take no responsibility for the cumulative damage that the corporation has inflicted on our community’s waterways, roads and bridges".

"...We need to rethink the age-old argument between plantations versus habitat.This requires courage because we all need to have these conversations regarding the remnants in plantations and the wildlife therein."
