Imagine New South Wales without koalas. Without action on deforestation, that’s where we’re headed.

Despite being on the State and Federal threatened species lists, koala rates are plummeting. Koalas die because of loss and degradation of their habitat, and such destruction is escalating in NSW. Deforestation in NSW has jumped by 800% in the three years between 2014-2016. Meanwhile, the creation of new conservation areas and restoration of bushland is slumping.

Last year, new deforestation laws were introduced that could lead to 8 million hectares of core koala habitat being destroyed—99% of identified koala habitat is now open to deforestation.

Eastern Australia is now on a global list of deforestation hotspots. It’s time to turn this around.

The Wilderness Society, the NSW Nature Conservation Council and WIRES are collecting these leaves together and we will deliver your names  directly to the Premier.

Please add your voice to the growing movement of people demanding an end to deforestation in NSW. We will add your name to one of our leaves and make sure the Premier hears from you.

When you sign your name below, the Wilderness Society will put your name onto the leaf to the left and deliver it to the Premier. 

Dear Premier Berejiklian,

I call on you to urgently end the deforestation crisis by making potential koala habitat, threatened species habitat, and other high-conservation-value areas off limits to clearing, and by repealing the land clearing codes.

I also urge you to invest in a restoration and conservation fund and deliver the world-class mapping, monitoring, and reporting the community expects.
