AUSTRALIA – The state’s logging agency has moved to increase logging… even as black cockatoo species relying on these trees are upgraded to “endangered” status. …Hundreds will rally at Parliament on Wednesday as Greens Forests spokeswoman Diane Evers presents Environment Minister Stephen Dawson with a 15,000-signature petition calling for increased native forest protections. …The state’s Forest Products Commission wants to sell more native forest timbers via a new timber yard in the South West, and has sought expressions of interest “to enhance long term industry viability”. The facility would take both native forest and plantation logs and produce mainly low-end products including wood chips, firewood and charcoal, with the potential of biomass burning on the table.
