Our state animal emblem, the Leadbeater’s Fairy Possum, has been under enormous pressure since the Black Saturday Bushfires, and now, the Victorian state government has all but locked in its extinction by allowing logging to continue in its habitat.
This week, state government logging agency, VicForests, sent logging contractors into one of the last mature and unburnt stands of forest near Toolangi, near Healesville.
Your support has played a significant and important role in assisting our campaign to protect Victoria’s old growth forests. As a valued member of The Wilderness Society Victoria Inc, you are warmly invited to attend our Special General Meeting (SGM).
In recent days, record numbers of conservationists have rallied together to protest the illegal logging of rainforest at ‘Block Six’ near Toolangi in Victoria.
