The vanishing old-growth forests

The government map unveiled in 2019 modelled approximately 90,0000 hectares as “rare and precious old growth” and subject to protection — but that was only the start of the story. Within days, the Andrews government introduced a procedure that would allow the state’s logging company VicForests to make the final determination as to whether a logging area really contained old-growth forest, and whether these zones should be protected.

“The claim that old growth logging has stopped in 2019 — it’s infuriating because we’re still seeing it,” says Dr Ashman.

The government said the new method to verify old-growth forest was a “clear and consistent procedure to identify and determine the extent of old-growth forests.”

But Dr Ashman describes the procedure as “absolute rubbish” and she says it was “designed in a way that definitely creates the opportunity for more logging.”
