As parts of Australia turn away from native forest logging, Four Corners follows the logs and the money to ask whether the industry is really ending or just shifting state borders.

Without clear, consistent guidance and proactive outreach, well-meaning landholders can find themselves on the wrong side of complex regulations — and ecosystems continue to be lost in the process.

It’s easy to think of rampant land clearing as something that happened long ago – chainsaws and bulldozers carving up the landscape in another era. But the

Don’t sleep on this.

Australia’s new national environment laws need strong standards – that’s meant to be the whole point.

But arguably the most important one is out for final consultation, and right now, it’s not up to scratch.

Instead of pushing decision-makers to assess damaging projects against clear environmental outcomes, the draft standard leans on weak, vague principles.

That leaves too much room for nature to lose.

Today is International Day for Biological Diversity 🐨🦋🪲🌳🌿🐸

This year’s theme, “Acting locally for global impact”, recognises that protecting biodiversity starts in places like the forests of the Northern Rivers.

The proposed Richmond River Koala Park lies within one of Australia’s nationally recognised biodiversity hotspots - a globally significant region home to extraordinary wildlife, ancient ecosystems, and species found nowhere else on Earth.

These public native forests provide habitat for hundreds of species, including koalas, Greater Gliders, Barking Owls and many other threatened species. They protect water catchments, store carbon, and support the ecological systems we all depend on for clean air, water, food, medicine and climate stability.

In 2022, countries around the world committed to a global plan to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030. But with only four years left to meet key biodiversity targets, action cannot wait.

Real change happens locally - through communities standing up for the places they love and demanding lasting protection.

Protecting the Richmond River Koala Parks is local action with global impact.
