Our lives do depend on the forests—but on keeping them, not destroying them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorld-leading forest expert Professor David Lindenmayer exposes the unsettling truth about what is happening in our tall eucalypt forests. Despite what we are told, logging makes bushfires worse for decades after the chainsaws stop and kills iconic animals and birds each year in droves, driving many species closer to extinction. The trees that are logged mostly end up as paper and cardboard. And it's not profitable: taxpayers are funding it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLindenmayer reveals an unholy alliance between state forestry, the timber industry, and unions. Loggers routinely breach regulations, and the industry intimidates anyone who questions what they are doing. Worse still, even where native forest logging is supposedly ending, efforts are being made to continue it under a different name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eForests purify our drinking water.
