WA has a prescribed burning program that hasn’t changed since 1994, and in the meantime, the climate has changed enormously. DBCA are doing the same old thing, burning far too hot, not changing anything, and this is putting WA's tourism industry at risk.

Over 150 giant Tingle and Karri trees have collapsed after a prescribed burn next door to WA's famed Valley of the Giants Treetop Walk. The ‘Giants East’ forest block was ignited in late December by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA).

Collectively the #EndForestMining alliance sent over 18,000 letters to @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social, calling on her to do her job, & reject clearing irreplaceable Jarrah forests. While disappointed, we are determined to limit bauxite-mining deforestation across the Northern Jarrah Forest.

Rehabilitation does not and cannot restore the Jarrah forest after bauxite mining. We need to mitigate all threats to these forests and threatened species and stop relying on false solutions that just don’t work.

The South32 approval means a further 4500ha of critical habitat in the Northern Jarrah Forests will be bulldozed and burnt. Threatened species will take a triple hit - from climate impacts, from clearing, and a failed rehabilitation program.

BREAKING: Federal Environment Minister, Tanya Plibersek has approved a proposal by South32 that would see thousands of hectares of WA’s Jarrah forest, found nowhere else on Earth, destroyed for bauxite mining.

As climate change continues to make it more difficult to manage fire, we must develop a more sophisticated, up-to-date, and best-practice prescribed burning management plan that embraces the latest scientific and First Nations wisdom.
