Greater Glider and Leadbeater's Possum Detection Report – 317-508-0010 'Swing High'
A nocturnal survey investigation was undertaken within VicForests scheduled logging coupe 317-508-0010 to assess the presence/absence of Greater Gliders, Leadbeater’s Possums and other significant nocturnal arboreal fauna.
We Believe the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) must immediately stop VicForests from undertaking any logging operations within coupe 317-508-0010, aswell as adjacent coupes 317-508-0009 and 317-508-0011, based on the significant biodiversity values recorded within the area and VicForests inability to adequately identify these values in their pre-harvesting coupe surveys.
The following report concludes that VicForests has scheduled logging within a critical area of forest currently inhabited by the vulnerable Greater Glider and critically endangered Leadbeater’s Possum.
