Opinion Piece - Common Water Common Risk

A very well written & informative piece, I find it incredible that only 13 days after the bushfires that logging commenced. The damage to the plant and animal habitats in already decimated environments is outrageous, shame on Vicforests. The effects to water supplies and catchment areas and increasing need of water for young saplings is devastating. The effects on ecosystems & water sustainability is shocking, ignoring the science is even more shocking. Typical knee jerk reaction. If the concerns are over too much timber = potential for further fires, perhaps the local Indigenous Peoples could be consulted in fire management practices.
Whilst I do not live in Victoria, I do love Victoria. Increasing sustainable ecotourism would be of more benefit, than paying loggers to destroy these amazing environments.
