Save the Swift Parrot. New research: Logging increases bushfire intensity.

Sunday, 31 May 2020 - 11:00am to 11:30am

Regenerating, burnt forest near, South Coast NSW near Ulladulla.

BirdLife Australia has launched a campain calling for logging to stop in the habitat of the critically endangered Swift Parrot.

Armed with Forestry Harvest Plans we take a drive into a partially burnt State Forest near Ulladulla, NSW that is due to be logged.

A forest defender describes how to use the harvest plans to find out if the loggers break rules about protecting animals and plants.

Recent Research by Dr Jen Sanger and team confirms that logging increases the intensity of forest fires.
