Quotes from Ecologist Mark Graham 

“I have extensively and intensively surveyed these forests and can categorically state that Forestry Corporation NSW are currently destroying the very last bastions of the globally significant forest biota known to depend upon these forests.”

“As good recent example of Forestry Corporation NSW shifting their operations at their leisure:  Bagawa SF was listed on Plan Portal as "Completed" until recent days. They then changed it to "Suspended" which means that they can go back in at any stage and grab the few remaining fragments of the globally significant Koala habitats that remain there.

Quote from MP Alex Greenwich who has a pivotal role in the NSW Parliament

“Keeping our native forests intact is vital to stopping a biodiversity crisis through mass extinction of endangered species like the koala and erosion of much needed carbon sinks. Native forest logging runs at a loss that taxpayers subsidise only to produce low value products that have sustainable alternatives. The state will be in a better environmental and economic position if we transition to plantation timber. New jobs in eco-tourism and eco-timber with a transition package will ensure forestry communities are protected. There is no reason not to move forward.”
