Welcome to The Protection Plan. We urgently need your help. In 2006, the Labor government promised to protect our few remaining old growth forests. But it was a hollow promise. Despite the presence of the threatened Long Footed Potoroo and high densities of Greater Gliders, the government has just announced that logging will recommence at Brown Mountain any day now.

This is in contravention of the East Gippsland Forest Management Plan which states that high density populations of Greater Gliders should trigger protection measures. More than the required density was found for both Greater and Yellow-bellied Gliders. This should mean that 100 ha of suitable habitat will be included in the SPZ (Special Protection Zone).

But, instead of protecting native habitat and trees more than 500 years old, the government is ignoring its own regulations and allowing the destruction of Brown Mountain to continue.

Please urgently contact Mr Brumby by emailing him directly from this site, or by phoning, or writing a letter.
