The Nature Conservation Council, Conservation Council of the ACT Region, SERCA and a coalition of conservation groups have called for Premier Kristina Keneally to intervene in the battle over the future of the last koala colony in the South East Forests of NSW.
Earlier this month (March 2010) local conservationists reported that contrary to assurances from the Environment Minister Frank Sartor, heavy machinery is already at work on the road network needed for access to the area.
Despite a recent Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water survey finding a small but healthy colony of koalas living in Mumbulla State Forest, logging is set to resume as early as next week.
Please send this email to Premier Keneally and Ministers Sartor and Macdonald urging them to halt logging and protect this precious koala colony.
