RFPG formed in 2014 in response to extensive clearfell #logging (& #failedregen) in the #RubiconStateForest which accelerated and intensified after #2009Fires.

Climate Case to Protect our #LivingWonders chuffed.org/project/living-w…
Smooth baton passing from @sussanley to @tanya_plibersek in the #marketisation of #biodiversity protection and repair. It is not like it has worked so well in gas, electricity, aged care, education, healthcare, etc.
#AusGov "#NatureRepairMarket" legislation is bad #environmental policy. High transaction costs. No validated methods for measurement. Failure to regulate #bioodiversity loss effectively and subsidise restoration strategically. @RubiconForest submission: rubiconforest.org/naturerepa…

Yesterday the Greater Glider was officially listed as endangered, but today logging of their habitat continues across Victoria
We’ve stopped logging at Mount Disappointment. The Andrews gov will soon be hitting peaceful forest protectors like us with jail terms and $21,000 fines

"... addressing the environmental impacts of native logging would be essential to protect the species"
"We need to move our native forest logging industry into plantations, which don't destroy greater glider habitat."

The Andrews govt wants to put forest protectors in jail for a year and slap them with $21,000 fines. But it is our right and responsibility to protect our carbon stores. It is our right and responsibility to stop the slaughter of threatened species.

The forest we’re protecting today is know as “Crosby” coupe. It is forest that survived the 2009 bushfires, a beautiful pocket of crucial habitat in a landscape decimated by logging. Powerful owls and a koala were found here in the government’s own surveys.

Logging stopped at Mt Disappointment.
Peaceful protest poses no safety risks to VicForests’ contractors but the logging of native forests risks everything for all of us: our climate and the richness of life on earth.

BREAKING: Logging has been halted by local community members at Mt Disappointment on Taungurung and Wurundjeri Country near Kinglake National Park.

.@DanielAndrewsMP's government insists that @vic_forests' TRP is not subject to the Code! OCR restricted to coupe level regulation but VF unregulated at landscape level. Designed to Fail: rubiconforest.org/regulatory…

The green outlines on this map of #WombatForest are new logging coupes, including areas @DanielAndrewsMP announced as new National Park. This is what you get when @VictorianLabor tell you you're getting a National Park.

Another day, another damaging story about VicForest’s ghastly practices. Yesterday: illegal logging in Melbourne’s water catchment. Today: surveillance to “find dirt” on a conservationist. Pay out workers and shut down this corrupt and destructive industry now.

VicForests put these two coupes on its website today - 'Troop' and 'Rookery'. Full of threatened Greater Gliders. It's just a fully-declared war on nature.

BREAKING NOW: Community take action to stop rush by @VicForestsComms to log our native forests. Our threatened species can't wait for 'lawfare' protections, besides -
WATCH our govt dept change the goal posts!
#Laborslogging is a waste of money too, TRANSITION NOW!
ALT Long perspective looking into forest from logging destruction in foreground
ALT Community activists hold banner that reads: LOVE, don't LOG Toolangi, in front of a pile of freshly processed native trees, off to be pulped for cardboard and exported.
ALT More destruction of habitat in neat industrialised piles ready for transport to be pulped fo paper products.
