ICYMI “Research across the world shows that logging substantially increases fire risks in Australian native forests” David Lindenmayer ⁦@johnmenadue⁩ #auspol #biodiversity #nativeforests pearlsandirritations.com/pos…

Industrial timber plantations have approximately 50 percent higher odds of experiencing a megafire than natural public lands. The reason is structural. Even-age, single-species, closely spaced trees create conditions of continuous fuel: uniform density, no firebreaks, low species diversity that would otherwise produce varying flammability. Natural forests have gap structures, diverse species with different combustion characteristics, and standing dead wood that burns differently from live trees. Plantations are designed to maximize timber yield. They are not designed to survive fire. As fire seasons lengthen and intensify, the plantation model increasingly produces catastrophic fuel loads in exactly the places where fire is most likely to occur. We are growing carbon-poor, fire-prone monocultures and calling them forests. #nativeforests #nature #biodiversity

Meet our seedling babies. 🌱 Before they graduate to Hawaiʻi's forests, they must be prepared. A little sun, wind, and rain before planting goes a long way. Stress tested. Root strong. Ready to thrive. 🤙 #NativeForests #Nurseries #Graduation

A billion trees in the wrong place doesn't fix anything. A thousand trees in the right place — right species, right soil, right density — that's an ecosystem. The number was never the point. #Reforestation #NatureBasedSolutions #NativeForests #ForestRestoration #ClimateScience

This is ʻōhiʻa lehua. Hawaii's most iconic native tree. It feeds the bees. It holds the watershed. It is the forest. It was almost gone. We're bringing it back. #Pollinators #Bees #NativeForests #Hawaii #Biodiversity

The carbon market is looking for permanence. We've been building it here — in a field on the edge of a lava field in Hawaii. 246 native species. Each one documented. That's what durable looks like. #CarbonCredits #NativeForests #Hawaii #NatureBasedSolutions #CarbonMarkets

The Baka people of Cameroon's Congo Basin have stewarded these forests for generations — long before the word "rewilding" existed. In Mapouta, the legendary "hippo whisperer" carries knowledge no textbook holds. Women here are believed to become hippos when they die — because the forest and its people are inseparable. The Iroko Project is restoring 14,000 hectares guided by wisdom like this. #Rewilding #BakaPeople #IndigenousKnowledge #CongoBasin #NativeForests #EcosystemRestoration #Cameroon

Every forest starts with a seed. Terraformation has tracked over 1.17 billion seeds — from nurseries in Hawaii to community forests in Uganda and the Philippines. The generation restoring Earth is already at work. Are you in? #GenerationRestoration #EcosystemRestoration #Reforestation #NatureBasedSolutions #NativeForests

Land-use change drives nearly 25% of global emissions. But restoration is land-use change in reverse. In Colombia's Tropical Andes, communities are reclaiming forests lost to agricultural expansion — and proving that recovery is possible at scale. #Deforestation #ClimateAction #NativeForests #TropicalForests #LandUse #Reforestation

Rewilding isn't a pledge — it's already happening. In Cameroon's Congo Basin, communities are restoring 14,000 hectares of native rainforest, tree by tree, species by species. Every planted seedling is a species returning home. #Rewilding #NativeForests #EcosystemRestoration #CongoBasin #NatureBasedSolutions

Finally some good news re #koalas and #nativeforests on #threatenedspeciesday smh.com.au/environment/conse…

The South-East Queensland Forest Agreement is under scrutiny, with critical greater glider habitat north of the Sunshine Coast set to be logged. 26 years ago, @QldGov promised to end native forest logging south of Gladstone by 2024 and to transition to hardwood plantations to replace the output from native forests. But the plantations never eventuated, and in 2019, logging was allowed to continue in areas meant for protection. Endangered greater gliders and other species that need old forests with tree hollows will suffer as a result. Australia can balance timber production with conservation—but only with long-term planning and leadership from governments, including ensuring commitments are upheld.

Nicole and Phil from our Conservation Programs team felt very fortunate to spend a spring day with Daniel and Petra on their amazing east coast property for a #LandforWildlife Assessment. They have over 560ha of intact #nativeforests including towering #bluegums, hollow bearing #stringybarks, swathes of #whitepeppermint forest and hidden gullies with patches of old, tall #Oysterbaypines and tree ferns.

Also the same Albanese Govt the lobbied intensely with other nations to delay the EU anti-deforestation laws despite nations given three years notice of their implementation. #auspol #biodiversity #environment #nativeforests
