Yes! What you guys said! We've got to save the old growth forests because we need the biodiversity to spread around when cattle farming dies. Soon we’ll be brewing up most of our food in factories. It’s called “Precision Fermentation” and it just needs electricity, water, and a tiny sprinkling of mineral fertilisers. It lets us grow all the fats and proteins we need. Food techs can form and flavour it into fish-sticks, chicken tenders and bacon strips. The best bit? It could feed 10 billion people from a tiny area the size of greater London! Historically we’ve chopped down 2 billion hectares, enough space for 3 TRILLION trees to graze animals and grow animal feed. Let's regrow that. It would soak up ALL historical CO2 emissions. It would feed the world abundant cheap food that's proof against flood and drought and pandemics. It would save nature, giving forest homes to countless animals. And it would solve climate change. Win win win. Please watch George Monbiot explain more here - just 6 minutes. It's the best technology since renewable energy: ruclips.net/video/6eaTIe_TBZA/видео.html
All life needs both the forests (greenhouse gas sinks) and their biodiversity to survive, and every individual animal who dies when a tree is cut down is a sentient being robbed prematurely of its life.
Unfortunately all three are silent when it comes to endless population growth, which is half of the problem. We need to stop encouraging large families in Australia and abandon the mindless pursuit of an ever growing economy. We can't have that AND protect biodiversity.
I agree with this but we should end native forest logging earlier than by 2030 and also pour a great deal of funding into investigating the true scope of damage in these forests and applying appropriate restoration projects to conserve and assist local wildlife on the road to recovery. Our flora and fauna is struggling to recover from Morrison's 2019-20 fires and we need to pick up the slack wherever we can.
Save nature! We love it, and we need it! Stop destroiing our native forests! Also, apparently, plantations of foodtrees end up with most of the koalas in them, and the workers woodchip the koalas with the trees, so this needs dealling with too, or the koala will end up extinct!

Yes! We're so excited for synthetic dairy too, just imagine the revegetation possibilities.

Thats a disgusting inditement on our society
