BellingenNSW<p>What’s so bad about a road? <br>Roads are forest killers.</p><p>"A road means access. Once roads are bulldozed into rainforests, illegal loggers, miners, poachers and landgrabbers arrive. Once they get access, they can destroy forests, harm native ecosystems and even drive out or kill indigenous peoples. This looting of the natural world robs cash-strapped nations of valuable natural resources."</p><p>"When ghost roads appear, local deforestation soars – usually immediately after the roads are built. We found the density of roads was by far the most important predictor of forest loss, outstripping 38 other variables. No matter how one assesses them, roads are forest killers."<br>&gt;&gt;<br>Ghost roads and the destruction of Asia-Pacific tropical forests<br><a href="https://theconversation.com/roads-of-destruction-we-found-vast-numbers-of-illegal-ghost-roads-used-to-crack-open-pristine-rainforest-227222" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theconversation.com/roads-of-d</span><span class="invisible">estruction-we-found-vast-numbers-of-illegal-ghost-roads-used-to-crack-open-pristine-rainforest-227222</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/roads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>roads</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NativeForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NativeForests</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/rainforest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rainforest</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>biodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/deforestation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>deforestation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/extractivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>extractivism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/destruction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>destruction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/LoggingIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LoggingIndustry</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NSWLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NSWLogging</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/BellingenLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BellingenLogging</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/access" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>access</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/LoggingImpacts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LoggingImpacts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/mapping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mapping</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/roadless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>roadless</span></a></p>
