 The NSW Government has reversed its decision for the immediate creation of new Red Gum National Parks along the Murray and other south-western rivers, recently announcing logging will continue in some areas for up to five years.
The move jeopardises the protection of globally significant wetlands and threatened species that are facing severe long-term threats to their survival.
The National Parks Association of NSW has indicated the decision will "not leave a forest worth protecting". (SMH, NSW to protect Riverina red gums, 02/03/10)
