Save the Swift Parrot. New research: Logging increases bushfire intensity.

from Earth Matters · host Presenter: Bec Horridge. Guests: Sean Dooley; BirdLIfe Australia, Dr Jen Sanger; Uni of Tasmania

BirdLife Australia has launched a campain calling for logging to stop in the habitat of  the critically endangered Swift Parrot. Armed with Forestry Harvest Plans we take a drive into a partially burnt State Forest near Ulladulla, NSW that is due to be logged.   A forest defender describes how to use the harvest plans to find out if the loggers break rules about protecting animals and plants. Recent Research by Dr Jen Sanger and team  confirms  that logging increases the intensity of  forest fires. Guests:        Dr Jen Sanger Ecologist.:  Founder of The Tree Projects, and Research Fellow at the School of Geography and Environmental Sciences, University of Tasmania.                     Sean Dooley, BirdlifeAustralia                    Forest Lovers and Defenders Song: Feel It,   Teymori Earth Matters #1246 was produced by Bec HorridgeLinks  Bellingen Environment Centre
