Right now the Australian government is asking for your view on whether wood chipping and burning Australia’s native forests in power plants should be considered a form of renewable energy. Will you add your name to the Wilderness Society's submission telling the government a very firm NO on this question?
To solve the climate crisis, there needs to be more renewable energy. Renewable energy sources need to genuinely be low emissions and should not worsen the biodiversity crisis.

Right now the Australian government is asking for your view on whether wood chipping and burning Australia’s native forests in power plants should be considered a form of renewable energy. Will you add your name to the Wilderness Society's submission telling the government a very firm NO on this question?
To solve the climate crisis, there needs to be more renewable energy. Renewable energy sources need to genuinely be low emissions and should not worsen the biodiversity crisis.
Australia’s forests and amazing forest-dependent wildlife are still recovering from the catastrophic Black Summer fires of 2019-20. Despite this, and the increasing extinction crisis, some companies are eyeing off the chance to turn precious forests into wood chips and then incinerate them in the name of renewable energy. Trashing unique and complex forest ecosystems is neither sustainable nor ethical and should never ever be considered ‘renewable’.
We would like to include your name in a long list of Australians to powerfully demonstrate the widespread community opposition to power plants being fed from the destruction of forests. Please add your name today!
