From our Friends at the North East Forest Alliance (NEFA):
NEFA: “We are asking you to contact the Federal Greens. [The Federal Greens email addresses and a text section to copy and paste are at the bottom of the page]
NEFA:
This isn’t about whether carbon markets are perfect.
It’s about whether we seize a rare opportunity to protect our forests or risk another decade of industrial logging.
Please let them know that:
- you support ending logging of NSW public native forests as soon as possible;
- you believe the INFM provides a practical pathway to achieve that goal; and
- you ask them not to close off this opportunity.
- Our Forests Can’t Afford to Wait.”
The Federal Government has adopted the Improved Native Forest Method (INFM) that allows governments to earn carbon credits (ACCUs) for 15 years if they end logging of public native forests and protect them for 100 years.
This has become a hot political issue, with some conservation groups siding with the loggers in calling for the Greens to support the National Party’s disallowance in the federal Senate, while others see it as an opportunity to end logging.
