The Bush’s Last Stand

Kate Carroll, Conservation Projects Office, NPA NSW

NPA is a member of Forest Alliance NSW (FAN), a newly formed collective of non-government organisations and community groups working to protect native forests and support a plantation-based timber industry in NSW. Other members of the alliance include Nature Conservation Council of NSW (NCC), World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Wilderness Australia, Bob Brown Foundation, North East Forest Alliance (NEFA) and South East Regional Conservation Alliance (SERCA). Forest Alliance NSW is raising awareness through the media and alliance networks to expose the truths about the biodiversity and economic impacts of logging and the lack of integrity in Forestry Corporation NSW (FCNSW) operations. The work of the Alliance is supported by citizen science and other research.
