Ali Alishah & Anthony Houston arrested defending Lutruwita / Tasmania forests. ā€œThis rare alpine wet sclerophyll forest, is being logged to supply Ta Ann. Instead of greenwashing Borneo's timber mafia, #politas must protect these huge giants and the rainforest,ā€ ~ Ali Alishah.

#FlowersOnFriday: Yellow Gum (Eucalyptus leucoxylon) flowering is going off here in Victoria! Trees both big and small are absolutely coated in the bright pink, yellow, red and cream blossoms, and the local birds are having a party! What's flowering near you? Show us! #LoveAGum

Here's what seven years of planned burns and mechanical works looks like 2020-2027. You want to hope that it's doing the right thing at this kind of scale? #FFMV Victorian Forest Alliance

🚨 Still happening: massive log piles in a supposed Special Protection Zone inside future Wombat National Park. This is what "protection" looks like under current loopholes. Logging over? You’ve got to be kidding Chris Hardman. #loggingisntover #Loopholelogging

Hard to understate how phenomenal this is. Landcape-scale conservation protects and connects habitat for wildlife like Critically Endangered Leadbeater's Possums. Ask Jacinta Allan to legislate the #centralwestparks for more magic! biodiversitycouncil.org.au/news/first-lea… via Biodiversity Council
