Dear Mr Chaudhary,
Cc. The Hon. Tara Moriarty, MLC, Minister for Agriculture; The Hon Kristy McBain, MP, Minister for Emergency Management; The Hon. Steve Whan, MP; Dr Michael Holland, MP 
I am writing to urge you to immediately cease all planned logging operations in Glenbog State Forest.
As you know, Glenbog is one of the last remaining strongholds for the nationally endangered Greater Glider and provides critical habitat for a range of other threatened species including Yellow-bellied Gliders and Gang-gang Cockatoos.
There are also hundreds, if not thousands, of Wombats in this forest - an unusually high density which FCNSW itself has previously acknowledged.
I understand that FCNSW found just four Greater Glider den trees in HPRP_GLENBOG_2312A_2313A_2314A_2315A_2024 during pre-harvest surveys. Considering the community have so far found over 100, this is a deeply concerning result.
It should be clear to you that logging cannot feasibly occur in this forest without the destruction of critical threatened species habitat. If FCNSW is truly ‘committed to researching, monitoring and protecting the habitat of Greater Gliders’ then as CEO, you must ensure all logging and roading plans in Glenbog are permanently removed from the schedule.
I care deeply for native wildlife and would like to see this critical stronghold protected immediately.

I would like to BCC myself

Help us protect Glenbog State Forest

Glenbog State Forest is about to be logged.

The forest is teeming with native wildlife, including greater gliders, yellow-bellied gliders, wombats, and many bird species like the gang-gang cockatoo. Please help us put pressure on Forestry Corporation of NSW to leave this forest alone.

Key points to consider

Community citizen science efforts have found more than a hundred greater glider den trees and 900 wombat burrows in Glenbog, along with numerous threatened species like yellow-bellied gliders, gang-gang cockatoos and flame robins;
The nationally endangered greater glider is facing extinction because of logging operations like this one;
It is impossible to log this area at all without causing irreparable harm to a biodiversity stronghold;
Destroying a stronghold for several endangered species is fundamentally incompatible with national environmental standards under the new federal nature laws.
FCNSW manages these forests on your behalf, so make your views known to them.
Don't be afraid to speak from personal experience - what do native forests mean to you?
