Glenbog State Forest in the Southern Highlands of NSW is a refuge, one of the last places in southern NSW where greater gliders and yellow-bellied gliders still thrive. A cool, mist-laced “cloud forest” that generates its own climate, it offers sanctuary for many animals already pushed to the brink.

This forest is not empty land waiting to be “harvested.” These trees and the ground they grow from is also home to gang-gang cockatoos, lyrebirds, flame robins, [gliders] and bare-nosed wombats just to name a few.

But despite strong citizen science evidence of critical habitat, Forestry Corporation NSW (FCNSW) plans to destroy this habitat imminently, and reduce this thriving ecosystem to low value woodchips, pallets and firewood to be exported.

Tragically, the native animals living in Glenbog state forest are merely considered ‘collateral damage’ to the forestry industry, and there is no regulatory authority offering them protection.

Please take urgent action for them now by sending a message to the NSW Environment & Agriculture Ministers, the Forestry CEO and your State MP.
