Big news for conservation in NSW: the government has announced the creation of the Great Koala National Park.
Our work for WWF-Australia has been cited as helping to provide an independent economic perspective, to support this landmark decision. By assessing forestry and timber processing employment across NSW, we contributed evidence that supported a balanced, long-term outcome for communities, industry, and nature.
It’s rewarding to see robust economic research play a role in shaping policies that protect threatened species, unlock new regional opportunities, and leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
