Greens call for moratorium on clearing koala habitat at GKNP rally today<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What: <\/strong>Press Conference and community rally for the Great Koala National Park<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When: <\/strong>10 am TODAY, Monday, 13 January <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where: <\/strong>Coffs Harbour – Forestry Corporation Office – 30 Park Ave, Coffs Harbour NSW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greens Environment Spokesperson Senator Sarah Hanson-Young will call for a moratorium on clearing koala habitat and an end to native forest logging at a rally for the Great Koala National Park in Coffs Harbour today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senator Hanson-Young said the Greens will be putting the environment top of the agenda during the federal election campaign and in any power-sharing parliament which is looking increasingly likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t save koalas while continuing to destroy their homes. Unless we take urgent action to end clearing of critical habitat, koalas will be extinct in NSW by 2050,\u201d Senator Hanson-Young said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExperts have been warning us for years that habitat loss is putting our national treasure, the koala, at risk. Yet the Albanese Government continues to approve the clearing of koala habitat for mining and development including three coal mine extensions just before Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTime is up for up native forest logging. It\u2019s time to start protecting nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe NSW Government promised to protect this precious koala habitat as a national park, yet destruction from logging has only increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLoopholes in our national environment laws continue to allow this destruction to go unassessed. Labor is turning a blind eye to this logging while they should be banning the destruction of koala habitat and working to end native forest logging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSaving forests from logging is good for the climate, good for the animals and good for the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have the opportunity right now to stop more extinctions and protect endangered wildlife including our precious koala, swift parrot and greater glider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhether it is by the creation of the Great Koala National Park or stronger environment laws that stop the destruction of critical habitat, the Greens urge Labor to save Australia\u2019s great forests from the chainsaws and the bulldozers before it\u2019s too late.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
