Original post:
Last day to add your voice for the forests! Support the call for critically-important changes that will protect Southwest wildlife and vulnerable ecosystems from prescribed burning, while safeguarding communities more effectively with strengthened early detection and rapid suppression firefighting capabilities. Sign the online petition to Parliament closing today here: bit.ly/PB-Petition
The petition calls on the WA Government to:
✅ Fund new early detection and rapid suppression technology to extinguish bushfires quickly
✅ Protect fire-sensitive species and ecosystems like Peatlands, Wandoo and Tingles and develop adequate habitat refuges for wildlife, to maintain biodiversity
✅ Cease the current policy of torching 200,000 hectares per year in southwest WA and develop a modern and strategic management policy that protects people and their properties while also minimising the impacts on native animals and their habitats.
