For the first time in 60 years, you can have your say on Alcoa's plan to destroy the world's only Jarrah forest.
Mining is pushing Western Australia’s Jarrah forests to the brink.
A line must be drawn in the sand to protect this biodiversity hotspot and vital climate store.
Have your say on Alcoa’s mining plans
We have 12 weeks to have our say on Alcoa’s plan to destroy Northern Jarrah Forest and put Perth’s drinking water at risk.
Will you add your voice to the thousands of West Australians saying no?
What's the impact?
Thousands of hectares of Jarrah forest have already been cleared, and companies including Alcoa and South32 want to clear more.
This is resulting in habitat destruction and fragmentation for unique species only found in WA, like the Baudin’s cockatoo, release of carbon into the atmosphere and potential contamination of Perth’s drinking water with mining within the Serpentine Dam resevoir protection zone.
Once they’re gone, they’re gone. Jarrah forests have evolved over millenia to grow on bauxite rich soil. Rehabilitation is not possible, so we must act now to protect what’s left.
