Logging Australian old growth forests As at April, 2009, around 8% of pre European settlement forest remains in original condition in Australia. About 5.5% of this is protected. The remaining 2.5% (including Brown Mountain old growth forest) is either being logged or is scheduled for logging - should be protected. Queensland and New Zealand have both protected all their remaining old growth forests from logging. Western Australia has protected most of theirs. Victoria, South East New South Wales and Tasmania is where the bulk of contentious old growth logging continues.http://greenlivingpedia.org "Forests are an essential natural mechanism for stabilizing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide in the short and long term." - Professor Brendan Mackey, Australian National University. |
