Key points to consider:
Habitat loss is the key threat to koala survival.
The NSW Government is refusing to stop intensively logging critical koala habitat in the Great Koala National Park while planning is underway.
Koalas will become extinct in NSW by 2050 if habitat loss continues.
Forest Corp is logging in the proposed GKNP faster than ever before and appears to be targeting critical koala habitat.
Forest Corp is a NSW Government owned company.
Forest Corp's 12 mth logging plan (from March '23) targets 30,297ha (14%) of native forest within the GKNP. This area includes 518 koala records.
Public native forest logging in NSW makes an annual $10-20 million LOSS and is propped up by NSW taxpayers each year.
The NSW public plantation sector is strong and profitable and can meet timber needs.
The GKNP will create 9,800 regional jobs generating $330m in wages and $273m in capital and operating expenditure plus generate $412m in tourism spending.
