More threatened species habitat temporarily protected!

Powerful Owl at logging coupe ‘Squirtle’ in the Black Range State Forest

The Supreme Court has today ordered that VicForests halt logging in six coupes in Toolangi and Black Range state forests, meaning 32 areas are now protected while our case proceeds.

The coupes, which were set to be logged this month, are home to the Sooty Owl, Powerful Owl and Greater Glider – threatened species already pushed closer to extinction by last summer’s bushfires.

The gorgeous Powerful Owl pictured above was found at one of the coupes that will no longer be logged this month.

This decision keeps the chainsaws at bay for a short time, but there is much more to be done to protect these incredible animals. You can support our legal action by donating at https://www.givenow.com.au/wotch
