Environment dept defends new logging code
"The NSW Department of Environment and Climate Change has defended its new code of practice for logging on private lands.
The North Coast Environment Council has criticised the practice, saying that more than 100,000 hectares of land has been approved for logging in the past 10 months.
It says approvals can be given with little public scrutiny, and old-growth forest and sensitive habitats could be at risk.
The department's Tom Grosskots says details of all private land approved for logging is on the department's website and says the number of approvals will eventually level out.
"That represents the approvals across NSW and is bringing a previously unregulated industry into this regulation framework," he said.
"So we have always expected that there will be a large number early on as the industry adjusts and becomes regulated, but the growth in that number will slow dramatically."
This is typical, dumb, bureacractic thinking. Do they even realise that:
*Climate Chgange and Global Warming are issues which can be solved by the very things these people want to remove
*The Federal Govt are sponsoring to the tune of some $150m the preservation and protection of tropical rainforest for the following purpose
*These old growth forests are providing the cooling /air conditioning mechanisms of the local region and contrubuting evapotranspired water to the bioshphere which in turn brings rainfall and cools the climate and the landscape.
*The owners of these PRIVATE lands which are to be logged should be encouraged by the Dept to be good stewards of their land, paid by carbon credits and govt for their stewardship to NOT log these life giving organisms.
*More than 95% of the original vegetation in NSW has been removed since settlement....these idiots want to remove the last 5% and then they will be happy.
IT'S A NO BRAINER BUT LOOK WHO IS IN CHARGE.....Voice your objections to your local politican after all it's your future and your children and grand childrens future that are affecting.
