Pre-burn works by #FFMV have caused serious and avoidable damage in known Nowa Nowa Grevillea and Glossy Black-Cockatoo habitat. This is one of Victoria’s rarest plants, found only in the Colquhoun Forest east of Bruthen #GunaiKurnaiCountry www.geg.org.au/lyles-bk-2025

More info on #FFMV/ Victorian state govt's inexplicable, irresponsible plans to incinerate 13000 HECTARES of Glossy Black Cockatoo food supply. Nearly 64% of GBC's Victorian habitat was burned in 2019-20 bushfires: www.theguardian.com/environment/...
“A mere 150 round-leaf pomaderris are thought left in the world and a planned fire break in Victoria could decimate almost 30% of those last remaining plants.” #FFMV

Providence Ponds Flora and Fauna Reserve is one of only five known locations in Victoria of the nationally threatened Pookila/New Holland Mouse, Pseudomys novaehollandiae. The recent incineration of known colony sites here by #FFMV is totally unacceptable
Latest report from GEG surveyors:
May 2025 - #Vicgov agency #FFMV incinerated 46H of Providence Ponds Fauna & Flora Reserve #GunaiKurnaiCountry.
Remnant old growth woodlands & sedge wetlands - burnt thru. Many old hollow bearing trees - collapsed. Why www.geg.org.au/ppffr-burnt-...
Exactly! Here's another disaster in a Park - over 80 large and significant old trees collapsed and felled in just 20ha surveyed. Chris Hardman, #FFMV Fire Chief said "The felled trees identified in the photos you have provided had been assessed as being hazardous" www.geg.org.au/lake-tyers-p...
WTAF are they doing? How do we shut them down? They’re just destroying all our valuable forests and habitat trees. #vicpol #FFMV

April 2024: #FFMV Burning Special Protection Zones The most recent survey recorded 9 Yellow-Bellied Gliders and 12 Greater Gliders in the Wattle Ck Rd burn. Other records included Long-nosed Bandicoots Koalas. See link for what happened #GunaiKurnaiCountry www.geg.org.au/wattle-ck-ki...
@FriendsBats: "Here's what seven years of planned burns and mechanical works looks like 2020-2027. You want to hope that it's doing the right thing at this kind of scale? ... We need an independent regulator to ensure #FFMV actions are backed by science."

“We’ve understood for a long time now that logging can make bushfires worse, but it’s only in the last few years that evidence is showing that prescribed burning could be doing the same thing,” lead researcher Professor David Lindenmayer, ANU. #FFMV

TAKE ACTION HERE: Ask the minister to put independent oversight in place and regulate impacts of #FFMV planned burns using up-to-date science vnpa.org.au/action-minis...
Here too, are mature groves of fire-sensitive black she-oaks, sole food source of #GlossyBlackCockatoos. This burn is part of the 13,000Ha of critical Glossy habitat in EG that #FFMV plan to burn over the next 3yrs. More info >> www.theguardian.com/environment/...
On this trail, you can see where #FFMV burnt before. Fire has come down the hill taken out the canopy & old trees and replaced the understory with bracken 📷 May 2024
The Trail goes right through the middle of a 1373Ha #FFMV planned burn. Check it out for yourself - you can walk, ride, take a horse & ask yourself what will be the impact of such a large fire lit with ground and aerial incendiary? 🔥
Mitchell River NP: #FFMV Fire burnt right to the edge of the escarpment, in places descended over cliffs. Many large old hollow trees collapsed. Old roadside trees were cut down. See full survey & TAKE ACTION ON THE LINK geg.org.au/mrnp-burn-2025
#GunaiKurnaicountry Mitchell River NP: 1876ha lit up by #FFMV April-25. FFMV website says 500ha has been 'treated' & FFMV plan to burn the rest. Damage has already occurred. NO MORE FIRE should be lit up here. See survey & Take action on link geg.org.au/mrnp-burn-2025 📷

Fire management planning is happening behind closed doors, without independent oversight, not for biodiversity or for the efficacy of planned burns in stopping fires. There is no protection for habitat or fauna in #FFMV planned burns. TAKE ACTION HERE vnpa.org.au/action-minis...
