Show Notes
New study reveals Tasmanias logging practices significantly increase bushfire risks. Young regrowth eucalyptus forests burn hotter and more severely, acting as fuel loads instead of fire breaks. Experts call for better regrowth management and protection of old-growth stands. The timber industry argues they manage risks through burns and technology. The study contradicts government claims, highlighting the need for stricter environmental standards and shifting funds from firefighting to prevention.
