Forestry Corporation of NSW has ‘a pattern’ of illegally damaging the environment, scathing judgment finds

"A court has released a scathing judgment against the New South Wales’ state-owned forest agency, finding it had “a pattern” of illegally damaging the environment and had refused to accept the “true extent of the harm that it has caused”."

"The Land and Environment Court fined the Forestry Corporation of NSW (FCNSW) $360,000 for offences related to the logging of 53 eucalyptus trees in environmentally significant forest near Eden, in the state’s south, after the black summer bushfires."

"The court accepted an EPA submission that the agency had “a pattern of environmental offending, has not provided any compelling evidence of measures taken by it to prevent its reoffending, and does not accept the true extent of harm that it has caused by its offending...Justice Rachel Pepper agreed that any penalty imposed on the Forestry Corporation “must serve to deter it from future criminality”.

“The government is ultimately responsible for the Forestry Corporation, and have a duty to protect the people and environment of NSW from this rogue state-owned corporation."

NSW ecosystem degradation and science suppression
Mass fish kills as “natural events”.

The government is “elected to bring better decision-making and transparency to government in this state and that is what we are delivering across primary industries and regional development” Tara Moriarty, spokesperson for the NSW agriculture minister

“The public gets to hear the messages the department wants to tell them...There’s still a really strong culture of suppressing science and limited sharing of information within the public service."

"Even though scientists are supposed to be independent, there’s often pressure to stay silent on some research results...They "use PR narratives to shape the message into something they believe is palatable”.

“The environment would be much better off and our democracy would be stronger if we were able to share information about the state of our environment freely. Then people can vote after being fully informed about how government is managing the environment.”

The primary drivers of #deforestation in the #Amazon — and other biomes in #Brazil such as the #Pantanal and the #Cerrado — are #agribusiness and #meat consumption.

A survey released by the Amazon Environmental Research Institute (IPAM) showed that #cattle pastures occupied 75% of the deforested area on public lands in the Amazon. Other causes of deforestation include the construction of new highways, #logging roads, #dams, and #mines.
