Industry push to earn carbon credits from Australia's native forests would be a blow for nature and the climateForestry Australia, the industry body behind the plan, claims it would make ecosystems more resilient and help tackle climate change. But decades of research findings clearly suggest the proposal, if accepted, will have the opposite effect.
The proposal also involves"forest thinning," or removing trees. In a statement to The Conversation, Forestry Australia's acting president William Jackson said thinning involves"selectively reducing the number of trees to enable the healthy trees to grow." So, instead of harvesting low-grade logs used for woodchips and paper, it would harvest more valuable logs to be made into longer-lived timber products, such as roof trusses and floorboards.Announcing Forestry Australia's proposal, its president Michelle Freeman said forests were"more resilient if they are actively managed.". So, even if some carbon was stored under the plan—through activities such as regeneration—this would be undermined by carbon released when removing trees.
In response to the points raised in this article, Forestry Australia's acting president, William Jackson, provided the following statement. It has been edited for brevity:
