About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

Burning native forest wood for energy is not clean, renewable or green. Australian Government policy is currently not to allow renewable energy subsidies for native forest wood, but this is under threat.
Independent MP Rob Oakeshott has put up a motion to disallow the native forest biomass regulations, supported by fellow independent, Tony Windsor.
The woodchipping industry views burning native forest for electricity as a lifeline to enable continued destruction of Australia’s native forests as traditional markets for woodchips collapse. Protecting native forests is the quickest, safest and cheapest way to help stop climate change
