AUSTRALIA — Logging has been temporarily halted in 26 unburnt areas of Victorian native forest after environmentalists argued in court there was a risk of “serious and irreversible damage” to threatened species after last summer’s bushfires. In the Victorian Supreme Court on Wednesday, Justice Kate McMillan granted an injunction to stop logging in 13 unburnt forest areas until the concerns could be aired in a court case against the state’s logging agency, VicForests. …While the injunction is temporary, the case is likely to take months, if not years, to be decided. …The group Wildlife of the Central Highlands (Wotch), argued logging should be banned in a number of unburnt areas to protect habitat for …the greater glider, the smoky mouse, the sooty owl and the powerful owl. Each of these is on the Victorian government’s list of species under threat after the summer bushfires.
