Securing a Forest Protection Plan for WA
Perth City Farm1 City Farm PlaceEast Perth,Join us for an evening of presentations from scientific, mapping and campaign experts about what the draft Forest Management Plan 2024-2033 (FMP) does and doesn't promise, and how we can work together to secure a forest protection plan we can all celebrate.
Between presentations you'll be treated to live music whilst you grab dinner from the fantastic FareGo Food Truck and pair it with local wine and beer from our bar.
Thanks to decades of work by everyone in the forest community, we are on track to end native forest logging and protect at least a further 400,000 ha of forest. But the work is not over yet, the next step is to secure a robust and reliable forest protection plan for 2024-33 that also details acceptable management of thinning, fire and mining. The draft FMP is open for public comment until 18 December.
Speakers and musical acts to be announced shortly. For more information on the draft Forest Management Plan visit wafa.org.au/end-native-forest-logging/

No uranium mining in WA - protest

No uranium mining in WA - protest
University ClubHackett DveCrawley,Deep Yellow are behind plans to mine uranium at Mulga Rock on Upurli Upurli country - north west of Kalgoorlie. This is the only uranium project that is able to advance in WA.
Uranium is different to other minerals - it is radioactive - turning clean water in to radioactive tailings, uranium mining leaves a lasting legacy at the mine site and overseas. Uranium is fuel for nuclear power - it ends up as nuclear waste and in the worst case it can end up as nuclear fallout.
Members of Deep Yellow's executive team were previously in charge at companies which have troubling track records - from the destruction at Juukan Gorge to mines in Africa with leaks, spills and worker fatalities.
Stand up and speak out to protect Mulga Rock, Upurli Upurli country from uranium mining and keep WA closed to the toxic uranium trade. Bring banners and noise makers and all your friends and family.
