"For the past 50 years, forest activists have been campaigning to end native
logging in one of Australia's most diverse natural environments, Western
Australia's native forests.
Remarkably, on September 8 2021, the WA State Government responded to
activists' pleas.
In what's been described as unprecedented in Australian environmental history,
the state government announced that a massive change of policy would come into
effect by 2024.
"We're going to stop logging in our native forests ... to preserve these
beautiful, magnificent, wonderful areas for future generations of West
Australians," WA Premier Mark McGowan said.
Former WA Greens member Giz Watson says many were stunned by the announcement.
So how did the decades' long movement to prevent native logging arrive at this
historic moment?"
