Special delivery - "Carbon Bank or Climate Change?" postcards

On Thursday 21 May, volunteers and staff from the Wilderness Society delivered “Carbon Bank or Climate Change?” postcards to ALP sitting member for Melbourne Bronwyn Pike.


The Wilderness Society's Luke Chamberlain, Gavan McFadzean and Amelia Young explain the crucial role forests play in water quality and quantity in our catchments - and in helping to fight climate change.
"Australia's native forests are our water supply. And protecting Australia's forests is one of the smartest things we can do to secure Melbourne's water future"

Luke Chamberlain,
Victorian Forest Campaigner

"Logging in Victoria every year releases the same amount of CO2 as around 950,000 households"

Gavan McFadzean,
Victorian Campaigns Manager

In the lead up to the 2010 Victorian election, the Wilderness Society will keep working on the campaign to save old-growth forests and to educate the wider community on the importance Victoria’s old-growth forests for storing carbon and helping fight climate change as well as the importance the forests play in water quality and quantity in our catchments.

Protecting Victoria's native forests must be part of the Victorian State governments plans to tackle climate change.
