We have the proof that logging makes Tasmania’s forests more flammable
Lots of regrowth, lots more fire

"Regrowth does indeed burn more intensely than mature forests. Some experts suggested forests regrowing from logging were a key factor in the huge area burned during the notorious 2019–20 fire season, though others have disputed this."
