An AI-based analysis of 20 years of logging by VicForests, shared exclusively with the ABC, shows for the first time, the potential scale of failed regeneration in Victoria’s state forests.
VicForests should be forced to regenerate coupes that have not actually regenerated, even those already handed back to the government. If it hasn’t regenerated as it would have without logging they should be liable. If the coupe was affected by bushfires they should still regenerate it.
I legit do not understand why this wasn’t a transition from logging to regen. Save the jobs they’re always bleating about.
They probably don’t have enough capable staff to manage all the regeneration, it’s never been a top priority for them. They should hire people to do it.
