Forests - precious and wild

Forests - precious and wild

The Wilderness Society is the only conservation organisation in Australia with a nationally coordinated forest campaign in every State affected by native forest logging to protect forests from chainsaws and bulldozers.

This campaign centres means we bring a national overview to Australia's forest campaign, as well as working cooperatively with smaller regional groups around the country who are campaigning to protect their local forests.

We are running ground-breaking national campaigns on local council purchasing policies, consumer education and empowerment and many other issues, such as Regional Forest Agreements, plantations, the Greenhouse Effect and carbon, the Montreal Process, and development of Ecologically Sustainable Forest Management principles and processes.

The time is perfect to drive woodchipping from our shores, and this industry can expect reinvigorated opposition from The Wilderness Society. We are currently developing campaign strategies to counter the latest threat to Australia's forests - burning trees from native forests for power generation.
