Our wildlife, climate and communities – we all need trees. Add your voice and join us in calling for an end to native forest logging, for good.
BREAKING NEWS: A game changer for koalas and Australia’s forests!
The NSW Government has announced the protection of all 176,000 hectares of native forest within the Great Koala National Park, a landmark move for koalas, greater gliders, and other endangered wildlife. This decision gives koalas a real chance to thrive and opens new economic opportunities for communities through eco-tourism and conservation. People power made this happen – this exciting step forward is proof that your voice can help protect Australia’s native forests.
We all need trees – to breathe, to belong, to survive.
Yet in Australia forests are being cleared and logged at a staggering rate - an area of forest the size of a football field is cut down every two minutes in Australia.
We need to save our trees and keep our forests standing. Our mature trees are irreplaceable, they store more carbon, support cooler climates, and provide irreplaceable habitat for endangered wildlife, like koalas and greater gliders.
Some forests took millions of years to grow – if we lose them, they’re gone for generations.
Together we can put an end to native forest logging in Australia, and protect our forests for generations to come.
Your voice matters
In 2023, your support helped suspend logging in Tallaganda State Forest. We need your help again. Together, we can shift Australia from a deforestation to a reforestation nation. Help us end native forest logging.

Introducing Wildlife Wipe:
Australia’s softest toilet paper with the harshest truth.
🌲Made from logged NSW Native Forests 🌏 Not recycled ❌Not a real product, but the fact that our forests are being pulped for toilet paper is very real.
Did you know that an average of 50% of the wood harvested from NSW native forests ends up as low-value woodchips, which then gets exported to produce disposable products like toilet paper and box liners?
Being logged to become toilet paper is a devastating trade-off for ecosystems that took centuries to grow.
That’s why it’s important to end native forest logging and help support our iconic wildlife.

Impact Spotlight: Tallaganda State Forest
After the 2019-20 bushfires decimated their habitat, we helped design and install specialised nest boxes to help greater gliders find shelter in their changed forests.
But, in 2023, we discovered NSW Forestry Corporation were logging in Tallaganda State Forest, dangerously close to the nest box sites. Soon after, the body of a dead greater glider was found.
Thanks to your support and with help from our partners on the ground, we were able to secure a Stop Work Order and halt the destruction – for now.
Why is Australia cutting down trees?
Australia is a world-leader when it comes to deforestation – something we’re not proud of.
But why is this happening? And what is the wood being used for?
Hint: it’s not used to build houses, or even furniture. The answer will shock you.
Our Mission Towards Two Billion Trees
By stopping excessive tree-clearing, protecting our existing trees and forests, and restoring native habitat that’s been lost, we’re working to save and plant two billion trees by 2030. Two billion!
We know... it’s a lot. And it’s only possible with your support.
