WA Greens environment spokesperson Jess Beckerling said the government should not be even considering issuing a new exemption order for the miner.

Pressure grows on Alcoa over strip-mining of Western Australian jarrah forest, which also threatens Perth’s water supply

5,586 of you signed. Today, I took your voices to Parliament. 🌿

The message is clear: protect the Northern Jarrah Forest. No deal with Trump’s administration should put our forests, our water, or our environment regulators at risk.

Thank you to every single person who signed the petition. Keep watching this space 💚

Hikers and bikers say they're worried about mining tenements and plans popping up in south-west and southern WA.
It comes as mining giants Alcoa and South32 looks to expand its operations south of Perth.

As more areas in south-west and southern Western Australia are flagged for future mining activity, hikers and bikers say they're worried some of the state's best trails will be affected if more isn't done to protect them.

Scientists at the University of Western Australia have warned that the Northern Jarrah Forest cannot be restored to its pre-mining condition once Alcoa’s bauxite operations have stripped the substrate beneath it, with one of the planet’s most concentrated biodiversity hotspots now hanging in the balance of a Federal lease decision.

UWA scientists warn Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt that WA's jarrah forests cannot recover from Alcoa's bauxite mining as the lease nears 2045.

A friend of this page just shared this really SAD 😢 photo taken this morning near Collie.

The size an age of the enormous Jarrah tree on the back of that truck must be illegal! 💔

Why is our government doing nothing to protect these irreparable old growth trees?!?

About time….this gets the media attention it needs!

About time….this gets the media attention it needs!

Over the past 6 years, the land around this significant jarrah tree was cleared and mined or turned into road. Now, it has died, likely as a result of the disturbance.

Alcoa was told to protect magnificent habitat trees of this kind because of their undeniable importance for black cockatoo breeding.

The required 10m buffer was minimal, but still Alcoa could not get it right.

If Alcoa has broken the exemption order; they have been caught out, and the exempted mining must be halted immediately.
