    Foreign and local corporations have never stopped logging and mining the Tarkine old growth forests. The media just stopped reporting on it so it left the public consciousness.

    The bob brown foundation has maintained a blockade slowing the destruction since 2020

    In February 2020 we occupied this coupe and forced the retreat of the logging machines, and since January 2021 we have been holding Chinese state-owned mining giant MMG at bay. Over 400 volunteers have spent time on this front line, with over 70 arrested stopping the machines. But the miners and loggers are still scheduled to return. We plan to stay in place to stop them again.
