Every year in New South Wales
- 14,000 hectares of publicly-owned native forest is logged
- 70% is mill waste, burned, or left as debris
- 24% is chipped to make paper
- Only 4–8% of trees become sawn timber
- Plantations produce 14 times more wood products per hectare
If we stopped logging native forests
- It would prevent 1.8 million tonnes of carbon from entering the atmosphere every year
- The real value of native forests is biodiversity, habitat, and carbon capture and storage to mitigate climate change
Our native forests are worth more standing
End Native forest logging now
