On today’s two-part Dirt Radio episode Nathalie Farah sits down with Dr Jen Sanger (The Tree Projects(link is external))  and Chris Schuringa (Victoria Forest Alliance) to discuss the new Victoria Forest Carbon Report that has been co-authored by Dr Jen and the VFA.

This report highlights the current emissions from native forest logging and the legacy left by their delayed release into the atmosphere. But, do not lose hope! The incredible propensity of these ecosystems to absorb carbon can be utilised if we can just learn to nurture and protect them. For the full Victorian and Tasmanian report read through the FoE Melbourne Media Release.

On todays show Jack and Sam speak with Freja Leonard from the No More Gas Collective about Victoria's role in Gas.

The interview touches on the role gas plays in Australia, the way it's exported and a recent (staggering) proposal for a floating gas terminal to be built in Geelong. The terminal boasts a location within the advised safe 3km radius residental housing, an immediate threat to local bay wildlife and a shallow attempt to prop up the crumbling Australian gas industry.

Help show solidarity to the people, flora and fauna that will be effected by the project by sending an email to your MP to TAKE ACTION on Victorian gas.

Today on Dirt Radio we speak with Michelle Baxter of the Strzelecki Koala Action Team (SKAT) about the iconic Strzelecki koala, Victoria's only endemic species of Koala and the difficulty the species faces from logging, fires and private land ownership in Victoria.

With news last week that the death of four Koalas have been reported in a planned burnoff of the Mount Richmond National Park, this is a very present threat to all koala species.

Find out how you can get involved with SKAT spending long weekends (like Michelle) hunting for koala gold.
