As other states move away from native forest logging, Tasmania's public forestry company adds another 1,000 hectares including in the Tarkine region which conservationists say should be given national park status.

STT, Sustainable Timber Tasmania, has removed coupes from its logging schedule due to community pressure. The Tasmanian Government supports native forestry but has faced criticism. Western Australia will end native logging next year. The local community is concerned about forest destruction. STT claims that not all coupes listed in the plan will be harvested. Public pressure campaigns have successfully stopped logging in certain areas in the past.
