No more lawless logging – email Premier Andrews
Since the late 1990s the logging industry in Victoria has been exempt from adhering to federal environment laws that protect our nationally threatened wildlife.
Only native forest logging gets this special exemption known as a ‘regional forest agreement’ (RFA)
In February 2017 the East Gippsland RFA will expire.
It should not be extended.
Goongerah Environment Centre, Environment East Gippsland and Fauna and Flora Research Collective are calling on the Victorian government not to extend the East Gippsland RFA and ensure that native forest logging is assessed under federal environment laws in the same way as every other industry.
Join with us by emailing Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews.
