Description

Australia will halt logging in a large stretch of woodland on the east coast to create a retreat for koalas, in an attempt to save the local population from extinction. The announcement, which will impact six timber mills and hundreds of workers, has caused outrage in the forestry industry. New South Wales Premier Chris Minns says the decision wasn't taken lightly and those affected will be supported.
