Dear Premier Chris Minns,

Please permanently end the logging of native forests in NSW, provide secure protection of all Koala habitat and take urgent action to save the Koala from extinction.

Since the koala has been declared vulnerable in 2012, its habitats in NSW have been wiped out at a rate faster than before.

Accelerated land clearing and logging are the main contributors to losing koala habitat The climate and biodiversity emergency and severe drought have put further pressure on habitats.

Adding to this urgency, the Black Summer fires wiped off 10 million ha in Australia's eastern states and koala numbers dropped dramatically.

The New South Wales parliamentary koala inquiry found that even after laws were implemented to protect koala habitat, deforestation increased because of lax enforcement of environmental regulations.

Approvals for coal mines in prime habitat for the Koala habitat need to be reversed.

The government report into Koala Population and Habitat revealed that State and Federal environmental protection laws have done nothing to save the threatened species. A report found that 79% development approvals were non-compliant or contained errors. Policing and compliance of the laws is quasi non existent, leaving threatened and vulnerable species unprotected by the laws which should ensure their survival

The vulnerable koala will be extinct the latest by 2050 in NSW unless strong government action is taken now.  We ask you to take this strong action.

Logging of native forest must stop immediately to ensure we preserve the habitat for future generations to enjoy and see.

Don’t be the Premier who pushes the Koala on a path of to extinction in the wild in NSW.

Do what is needed to protect this iconic marsupial or the Koala will go extinct under your watch.

Your sincerely,
[We’ll insert your name here]
