Regional Forest Agreements

Federal and state governments are about to renew Regional Forest Agreements which, despite their name, will prolong industrial logging. In NSW, this will put at least 2 million hectares of native forests under threat.

The federal and Victorian governments announced on March 27 a two-year extension of the controversial Regional Forest Agreements (RFAs) for East Gippsland, the North East and the Central Highlands. They will be reassessed at the end of the two-year period.
