Our Native Forests and Climate Change

www.forestclimate.org.au
Remarkably, Australia's native forests store more carbon pollution than any other forests on Earth. If we protect them, we can immediately reduce emissions and store the pollution from nine coal-fired power stations every year.

There now is a once in a generation opportunity to protect our native forests--a crucial lifeline for our climate. But to do that we have to let the forestry industry and Australian governments at all levels know we're serious about reform.

We need your voice.

Amazing to think that temperate forests can store more carbon than tropical forests making temperate forests very important for us to save. Well done Peter for speaking up. I wish more academics would.

Heh, Pete's my lecturer in Fauna Conservation Management this semester at Uni! Good on him, he's usually quite shy, but he definitely knows his stuff. Well made ad guys, I hope it will help get us a good election result :) I think we also need to encourage our friends not to cave in and vote for the major parties who themselves caved in to climate change in-action.
