Our blockade to protect #SwiftParrots is being packed down after it was confirmed that logging will not go ahead this year due to new information from our science team that Swift Parrots were nesting in the threatened forests! #Swifties


🦜Watch and listen as #SwiftParrots call from a forest that Forestry Tasmania still plans to log — even after we’ve recorded and reported this critically endangered species nesting here. End native forest logging!


“This forest cannot exist only as a memory; it has to stay standing,” — forest defender Ethan on day 13 of his tree-sit to defend this forest in Tasmania from logging. Ethan has been seeing and hearing the distinct calls of critically endangered #SwiftParrots around him. #politas


Hear from forest defenders Anthony and Sue on the frontlines earlier this week near Lonnavale in southern Tasmania. #SwiftParrots are known to breed in this forest where logging machines have been destroying the trees they need to survive. #politas bobbrown.org.au/relentless-def…
