Trigger a Major Event Review please!

Because of support of thousands of people like you, the Victorian Regional Forest Agreements have a new very important clause—the Major Event Review.

Victoria's wildlife were teetering on the brink of extinction before last summer’s bushfires; now, their plight is worse than ever because logging continues in their forest habitat. A Major Event Review must be triggered without delay to protect the unburnt habitat of these unique animals.

Victoria's wildlife were teetering on the brink of extinction before last summer’s bushfires; now, their plight is worse than ever because logging continues in their forest habitat. A Major Event Review must be triggered without delay to protect the unburnt habitat of these unique animals.

Please write to Ministers Ley and Duniam today—it is their responsibility and obligation to consider the impact of logging and care for Australia’s threatened species. Together, we can make sure a Major Event Review is triggered and the places we love and the animals that call them home have the best chance of being protected. And elsewhere in Australia, a provision for Major Event Reviews must be added to all RFAs, and initiated now for regions with bushfire affected forests and wildlife.

Dear Ministers Ley and Duniam

I urge you to ensure Major Event Reviews are conducted following the 2019-20 bushfires.
The bushfires have profoundly impacted the wellbeing of regional communities, with lives lost, and livelihoods and homes tragically impacted.

The bushfires have also devastated forests. And with wildlife which call these forests home already teetering on the brink of extinction before the fires, they’re now more worse off than ever. Shockingly, logging is now occurring in green unburnt forest refuges for remaining wildlife.

Your Government’s own bushfire panel clearly indicated that preserving unburnt forest habitat is the single-most important policy response to save wildlife from extinction.

As Ministers with responsibilities for ensuring logging is ‘ecologically sustainable’ and caring for threatened wildlife obligations are delivered through Regional Forest Agreements. Following the bushfires, Major Event Reviews are urgently required to address logging impacts. I’m asking that you:
1. Trigger Major Event Reviews in the Victorian Regional Forest Agreement (RFA) regions
2. Elsewhere in Australia, please add a provision for Major Event Reviews to all RFAs, and initiate for regions with bushfire affected forests and wildlife.

Time is running out for your Government to act, with existing Major Event Reviews required to be triggered within six months of the bushfires.

Please let me know your intentions for commencing Major Event Reviews for bushfire-affected forests.
