Where does the carbon go when a forest is logged?
How can accelerating native forest logging and burning be aligned with the goals of the RECFIT, to reduce carbon emissions and take climate action?
When asked this in Parliament, Minister Abetz proudly claimed trees that are logged in lutruwita/Tasmania continue to store sequestered carbon.
This is true for less than 10% of our forest products, with the rest releasing carbon as they quickly degrade in the manufacturing process, for uses such as paper. 90% of the forests logged directly contribute to climate change.
