Logging continues in the proposed Great Koala National Park, alarming environmentalists.

Despite plans to create the Great Koala National Park in New South Wales to protect koala habitats, logging continues within the proposed park boundaries. Environmental groups report that over 4% of the state forests in the proposed park area are being logged, compared to less than 1% outside. This has sparked criticism that the NSW government is endangering koalas. The government claims logging has decreased in volume over the past decade, but activists argue the logging is still harmful to koala habitats.
