    It is important to protect all the endangered species before they become extinct.

      We need to make sure our efforts to prevent wildfires aren't causing unintended harm to our forests and wildlife.

          This is outrageous! Deforestation under the guise of fire management is not the answer.

            Doing logging in the name of fire management is the worst news I have heard so far. Victoria authorities should take decisive actions on this matter

                This is devastating, how can those mandated to protect the endangered species be the danger we are trying to stop. This is unacceptable.

                    This is so concerning. This situation underscores the need for transparent and accountable forest management practices that prioritize ecological sustainability and the protection of endangered species.

                      The protection of endangered species and the preservation of natural habitats should be paramount, and any activities that compromise these goals must be thoroughly investigated and rectified.
