💧 Demand Real Rehab, Not River Theft. Toxic mines don’t deserve rivers. Plans to divert 2,800 billion litres of fresh Latrobe River water — more than 4 Sydney Harbours — to fill old coal pits are reckless, dangerous, and unjust. #GunaiKurnaiCountry👇🏽 www.geg.org.au/latrobe-coal...

DON'T BURN GLOSSY HABITAT! 🔥 There are only 250 Glossies left in VIC, and FFMV plans to burn 13,000 ha of their crucial remaining habitat over the next three years. vnpa.org.au/action-minis...

The reality of a planned burn. Watch to see what happens to tree hollows, even some distance above the ground.

Wherever they go, they leave a trail of destruction. #FFMV recently lit up 80Ha of Providence Ponds Fauna & Flora Reserve.

“We’ve understood for a long time now that logging can make bushfires worse, but it’s only in the last few years that evidence is showing that prescribed burning could be doing the same thing,” lead researcher Professor David Lindenmayer, ANU www.anu.edu.au/news/all-new...

“One licensed koala shelter operator in the south-west, said she helped up to 450 sick or injured animals a year. Displaced animals were sometimes still up in trees that were felled, ended up with broken bones, or were orphaned babies left behind." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Fun fact: Dartmoor used to have diverse forests before they cut them down and repeatedly burnt and grazed them

Back in 2017 a known colony site of the New Holland Mice was incinerated By #FFMV in the Providence Ponds Flora and Fauna Reserve - and this is what it looked like (back then they called it an 'ecological burn') see link for the story www.geg.org.au/new-holland-... #GunaiKurnaiCountry

After the fires of 2019-20, wildlife hospitals were built, and emergency response protocols were put in place. And yet here we are, not failing due to lack of resources or knowledge, but due to a lack of moral compass by those charged with managing wildlife www.creativecowboyfilms.tv/earth/quo-va...

- Demand an enquiry into critical habitat destruction and the efficacy of these burns in actually stopping bushfires - Demand transparent on-ground pre and post burn cultural heritage, fauna and flora surveys - Stop burning precious old growth forest

Logging, thinning, and burning can increase forest flammability. 🔥 Old trees are natural bushfire buffers. 🌳 We must think holistically and be clever about forest fire management. Come along to Prof. Lindenmayer's webinar to learn more: ➡ www.victorianforestalliance.org.au/vfa_webinar_...
