| “Because native forests are so valuable as stores of carbon, government policies should stop encouraging their logging for woodchips and reject their burning to generate electricity.”
South East Region Conservation Alliance Inc.(SERCA) invites conservation groups and individuals to urgently join it in calling on Commonwealth, State and Territory Governments to act urgently to reduce emissions from clearing and degradation of Australia’s native forests. Your support is urgent as Australia’s climate change policy continues to be debated. Research published recently by Australian National University scientists, built on three decades of work, shows that our Governments have seriously underestimated the carbon carrying capacity of native forests, and the role resilient natural native forests can play in climate mitigation.
Australia cannot expect to be taken seriously internationally on climate change while we are still devastating our own forests, many of which are directly under the control of State and Territory agencies. |
