Keeping watch over greater gliders in a forest targeted for logging

“No tree hollows – no owls, no gliders, no black cockatoos, no bats. A hollow can take 150 to 200 years to form.”

Bulga state forest, inland from Port Macquarie on the New South Wales mid-north coast is to be logged by the state-owned NSW Forestry Corporation.

"This unburnt forest – with its habitat for threatened species including the koala and glossy-black cockatoo, and critically endangered plants such as the rainforest tree Rhodamnia rubescens – has been a target for logging."

The Henry review "identified that native forest logging was damaging ecosystems and species and called for legislation related to biodiversity to be given primacy over other land management laws, including those that govern logging."

The greater glider population "halved in little more than 20 years, and it was listed under national environmental laws as endangered in 2022."
