Greater Glider Detection Report – 298-516-0002 and 298-516-0003
An investigation was undertaken within and adjacent VicForests proposed logging coupes298-516-0002 and 298-516-0003 to assess the presence/absence of Greater Gliders and other nocturnal fauna.
The following report concludes that VicForests has proposed logging within a critical area of forest currently inhabited by the Vulnerable Greater Glider as well as Yellow-Bellied Gliders and other nocturnal wildlife.
In 2017 the Greater Glider was added to the ‘Threatened Species’ list under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act; due to the considerable number of individuals recorded within proposed logging coupes 298-516-0002 and 298-516-0003, we strongly recommend VicForests remove these two particular coupes from the 2018 Timber Release Plan.
