MilennialZero on Nostr: So, it turns out we allowed private sector loggers to clear Victoria's old growth ...
So, it turns out we allowed private sector loggers to clear Victoria's old growth forests. To the point there are no forests left. Very profitable industry, that. By law, the logging companies were required to replant and regenerate those forests, but somehow it seems they forgot to do that. And the state government wasn't paying any attention. But the private sector logging companies have somehow spent all the profits and run out of money. Too bad. Shame about the wildlife, the water table, the soil erosion, carbon emissions, global warming. All that. Shame.
