Stop Deforestation & Protect Nature - Yeronga Community Forum

Join The Wilderness Society and Queensland Conservation Council to find out why we need strong federal nature laws and what can be done to ensure our wildlife and incredible landscapes are protected. This is your opportunity to share your concerns with your federal candidates and let them know you expect them to stand up for nature!. 

Queensland is facing an unchecked deforestation crisis, with forests and bushland being bulldozed at an alarming rate. This destruction is pushing iconic species like the Greater Glider and Red Goshawk to the brink of extinction. The Albanese Government promised to strengthen Australia’s nature laws, yet Australians have seen little action. Together we need to demand real leadership for nature and ensure all sides of politics prioritises nature.
