This spectacular forest is home to almost 800 species of plants and critical habitat for all three all three of Western Australia's threatened black cockatoo species. 

Alongside these impacts on rare native forest ecosystems and threatened fauna such as black cockatoos, Woylies and Chudditch, South32’s proposal will emit 270 million tonnes of CO2 over the next 15 years, use 900 million litres of water each year and damage cultural heritage sites.

The Wilderness Society will be preparing a robust submission that will highlight these threats and recommend that the EPA reject this proposal.
