Mining is pushing Western Australia's Jarrah Forests to the brink.
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.
