The day federal environment minister Tanya Plibersek launched her plan to stop extinctions, activists called on her to stop logging old-growth forests, the habitat for the endangered Tasmanian masked owl.
Extinction Rebellion Drummers, the Bob Brown Foundation, Stop Adani and Socialist Alliance activistsÌýpresented a letter andÌýframed picture of a masked owl to one of Plibersek'sÌýstaffers on October 4.
The masked owl’s refuge is in Tasmania’s western region of old growth forest, which is under threat from logging. These , occupy a permanent territory and rely on hollows in old-growth trees for nesting and roosting.
Protesters urged Plibersek to also take action to protect the Takaya (Tarkine) forest, koala forest, the Tasmanian devil and the Victorian glider.
