I’ve asked the government to reject alarming proposals that put the State’s biodiversity at risk. Proposals would allow environmentally destructive intense logging and clearfelling in State forests and commercial logging in the Brigalow and Nandewar State conservation areas. Earlier this year I asked the government to withdraw plans to burn biomass from State forests to generate electricity.
