Glad to see CVC is trying to reduce flying foxes’ and humans’ mutual impact via planning measures and not attempted noisy dispersals.
This wildlife refuge in Gulmarrad, NSW, is one of the last remaining feeding and roosting habitats for the local Glossy Black Cockatoo population. This block acts as a vital corridor

* CEC is highly sceptical of the Government’s reliance on ACCUs to offset emissions while approving coal mine extensions and the Narrabri CSG project and pipeline.
* There is a significant danger that this will result in more intensive logging activity on other lands to make up the shortfall, which will result in no carbon benefit at all.
* Carbon credits should only be created when an area of forest is permanently protected from logging.
* Permanent monitoring plots be established with regular surveys undertaken to ensure long term compliance is achieved.

Thankyou for the small grant which will be used to control and remove invasive species that choke native habitat.
NSW Allows Logging Near Koala Habitats And Risks Species’ Extinction
THE GLENUGIE BLOCKADE
Back in 2013, Clarence Environment Centre members, community and businesses had a strong and powerful presence at the Clarence Valley’s first coal seam gas (CSG) drill-site at Glenugie during a prolonged 8-week peaceful, but indomitable on-ground campaign to stop work progressing. On the of 7th January, more than 40 police, including members of the Tactical Response Group and Police Rescue removed (with difficulty) a number of protesters locked-on to equipment, trees and structures which effectively broke up the blockade. However, it was all worth it as the protest caused significant major delays for the drilling and also drained funds which eventually caused Metgasco to pull out of the Clarence Valley and test for a more malleable community to the north. But alas, when they were met with a well-versed and even stronger opposition at Bentley, the NSW government was forced to declare Northern Rivers off limits to gas exploration!!
