Rare and threatened Greater Gliders have been found by community surveys at Granite Mountain on the Errinundra plateau this week. The old growth forest has been at the centre of controversy since logging begun in late January.

Over 4000 people have emailed Premier Daniel Andrews calling on him to act to stop the logging and protect East Gippsland's forests. Direct action group Forest conservation Victoria established a blockade of the forest on Monday that has stopped logging for the past 5 days. 

East Gippsland's old growth forests are being destroyed by logging. 

Please support the protection of East Gippsland's forests and wildlife. Email Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews now.

We need to pile on the pressure and make the government act.
