Stop deforestation in NSW

Broken laws have helped make Australia the only developed nation on the list of global deforestation hotspots.

In NSW, 50 million trees per annum are torn down due to land clearing. This destruction strips wildlife of their homes and releases over 7 million tonnes of greenhouse emissions. And the laws make it easy and legal for this to happen.

The Minns government made an election commitment to protect forests and bushland, and they are right now making decisions about how robust these reforms will be.

Dear Premier,

cc'd: Minister Sharpe and Minister Moriarty

I am writing to voice my extreme frustration at the NSW Labor Government for so far failing to deliver on their election promise to “stop runaway land clearing” and “fix the biodiversity offset scheme”.

I welcome this commitment, which I took as an indication that you intended to follow in the footsteps of previous NSW Labor governments and take decisive action to protect nature.

However, your government has so far failed to even reintroduce the laws enacted by the Carr government, which were sadly undone in 2016 by then Deputy Premier and NSW Nationals Leader John Barilaro.

I urge you to go further than this and deliver reform reflective of the scale of biodiversity loss in our state, and the ongoing impact of climate change.

NSW is now losing 50 million trees, or almost 100,000 ha per annum, to land clearing—stripping wildlife of their homes and releasing over 7 million tonnes of greenhouse emissions.

I urge the NSW government to end the loopholes that allow the self-assessment of land before it is cleared. Code based clearing must be immediately stopped in all threatened ecological communities. To be in line with our international biodiversity commitments, you need a plan to halt and reverse all deforestation by 2030.

The current destruction cannot go on. We need urgent action.
