The Beyond Zero Show’s Eva Migdal and Scott Bilby talk to Luke Chamberlain, forest campaigner at The Wilderness Society and Jill Redwood from the community conservation group, Environment East Gippsland.
Luke began by pointing out that the degradation of carbon stocks in our forests (deforestation) contributed greatly to carbon change and that the undervaluing of the levels of carbon stored in forests prevented government from making good policy decisions. Forests are our water factories, our carbon banks and home to biodiversity. We are losing our planet’s breathing abilities!
Australian forests stores vast quantities of above ground carbon which is released into the atmosphere when the forest biomass is removed through logging. More than 30% of greenhouse gases each year comes from loss of carbon from native vegetation. Forests require protection urgently, to bring carbon down from the atmosphere.
Every year we are losing between $3 to 5 trillion from the loss of forests (Deutsche Bank figures). The cost of desalination plants etc. to replace what forests do for us compounds the problem.
Asked how this problem can be dealt with, Jill stressed that people are aware but that the political will is not there and also some unions were opposed to stopping logging. The public need to ‘frighten’ the politicians so that they stop listening to corporate donors.
Jill suggested getting in touch with local members of parliament, writing letters and e-mails and to write back again when the usual placatory reply is received! Get on radio talkback and any other media. Consumer action is effective too, such as buying only recycled paper and plantation pine etc and avoiding native forest timbers.
Logging industry protests re loss of jobs
Jill pointed out that of the entire workforce in East Gippsland, only 2% rely on logging. Instead, the ancient forests could be marketed for tourism. (70% of respondents in conservative East Gippsland said they did not want native forests logged when an opinion poll was undertaken at the time of the Goolengook forest logging).
Luke added that 80% of the jobs are in the plantation industry and that jobs in old growth forests were easily replaceable such as through value-added industries.
Forests are publicly owned resources yet given to logging companies for a very small fee. Roads are built for them etc so that the taxpayer is subsidising the logging of old growth forests.
Luke gave an example of what had occurred in New Zealand when a logging town in the south island put in a walking track. Logging had been the town’s only industry yet when logging ended, and the track was built, the town thrived. The same thing could be done in Cann River and Orbost.
Brown River walking track East Gippsland
Jill said that people lobbied for a walking track for this spectacular forest area but the government refused to fund the necessary education services. The area was declared a walk in 2006 then Vicforests placed logging coupes over it and bulldozers went in in 2008.
Asked how she coped emotionally with this kind of disappointment, Jill said she has a theory that like bee stings, you become either super sensitive or immune!
Luke said you cannot turn your back on the issue and he gained strength from people like Jill!
Water catchments
Jill explained that catchments caught the water for our rivers. These are the areas where rain falls and flows down. If we cut down the forests that grow in these catchments, the fast-growing regrowth put the catchment in a state of permanent drought becasue the young trees soak up so much water (about 50% of what would normally flow downstream). The amount of clean water available for drinking is also greatly reduced. Plantations, therefore, permanently create this problem.
If we just left the forests alone we would not need to consider nor pay for desalination plants!
Salvage logging/fuel-reduction burns
Luke thought salvage logging should really be called “carnage logging”! Jill referrred to fuel-reduction burns as “mismanagement”. Unfortunately it usually involves removal of live tree ferns and fire-resistant understory, thus drying out the forest by removing the damp and diverse undergrowth. Also, managed forest is more flammable whereas natural forest suppresses fire ie. the more you manage a froest, the drier it becomes.
(In relation to the take-up of water, by way of comparison, the impact of fire on a forest is 15-20 years. The impact of logging is approximately 150 years).
It is so simple! If we save native forests we have more water, less greenhouse gases, greater biodiversity protection and so on.
