Two states have banned native forest logging, but it’s still happening in the others.
Native forest logging was meant to be over in Victoria. Why are the chainsaws still going?
Our tallest trees are world champions when it comes to capturing and storing carbon, but they don’t like the heat. Climate change will trigger mass tree deaths in Tasmania. Here’s what can be done.
Australia has already lost so many wonderful mammal species. Do we want the southern greater glider to suffer the same fate?
Integrating local and Indigenous knowledge into conservation can help to support diverse diets without compromising biodiversity goals.
President Biden has called for protecting large, old trees from logging, but many of them could be cut while the regulatory process grinds forward.
Pine grows faster and sequesters more carbon. But native forest is better for biodiversity in the long run. Transitioning between the two offers a win-win solution.
How many years you reuse a fake holiday tree matters. So does what happens to a live tree when you’ve packed up the ornaments.

Tasmania’s forestry wars aren’t over, if the uproar over the felling of a large mountain ash is anything to go by.
Plantations of exotic trees from the mid-19th century onwards devastated Indian ecosystems.
The important role living roots play for sustaining life belowground should prompt us to rethink forest management.
