Please take two minutes to sign the petition to ask Senators to fix Australia’s broken national nature laws. 🐨🐨🌳🌳@WWF_Australia
🌳 Our forests are being logged! Across Australia, vital habitats for endangered species like the greater glider are being logged due to legal loopholes. 😔 In the middle of an extinction crisis, these areas aren't protected. We need stronger laws now! https://t.co/63SAIuO4lM

Together, we can prevent #koalas going extinct. If we protect their tree homes and create a koala-safe #climate, we can instead double their numbers. @WWFLeadForests @WWF_Australia

Four states in #Australia have ended public native forest logging (SA, ACT, WA, Vic). Certified plantations and wood manufacturing are key to job security for the NSW timber industry @ChrisMinnsMP @PennySharpemlc @TaraMoriarty @WWF_Australia

This third-generation logger says he is on the verge of bankruptcy while environmental advocates say they will continue to put pressure on the industry until native forest logging is banned.

#Koala Summit tomorrow in #Sydney needs to agree a plan to *double koalas* by 2050 to allow our iconic marsupials to get off the #endangered species list. #China did it for 🐼, #Australia should do same for 🐨. @WWF_Australia @PennySharpemlc

$70m in government grants for Australia #plantations. Good step. Now add another zero, to provide job security to timber workers and increase timber supply to help exit from industrial native #forest #logging. @WWF_Australia @MurrayWatt @tanya_plibersek

A scientist has argued the federal government needs to add another zero to its $70 million package to accelerate the timber industry’s transition to more sustainable practices.

Great read by Nick O’Malley @smh on Forest Economics Congress. No, the end of logging in Tassie wasn’t agreed, or role of carbon credits, but the listening and arguing over three days might just hasten plantation transition @WWFLeadForests @WWF_Australia

Logging trees where endangered koalas live while you are planning to protect those same trees to help save those same koalas? Doesn’t make sense, right? But that’s what is happening in the proposed Great Koala National Park. @WWF_Australia @ChrisMinnsMP

In Australia, it's becoming harder to find koalas in the wild, with the rough total estimate nationwide half of what it was 20 years ago. @WWF_Australia is giving a helping hand to the endangered species and working to regrow the population. @mollymhunter reports.

It’s time to end the logging of our beautiful native public forests & for the government to fund a transition to a sustainable plantation based industry. Threatened species like the koala, our climate & regional economies that rely on our public forests are at stake #auspol

It’s time to end the logging of our beautiful public native forests. Logging our forests threatens endangered species, contributes to climate change & hurts our economy. We need to rapidly end native logging & fund a transition to a sustainable plantation based industry #auspol

The state government pulls legislation aimed at cutting red tape for landowners as an old internal Coalition stoush over koalas raises its head again.
