New perspectives on Ecologically Sustainable Forest Management
Unfortunately the recording of this lecture is unavailable.

The management of native forests has been one of the most controversial forms of land and resource management in Australia over the past 40 years. Professor Lindenmayer will present some new perspectives. His particular focus is on how ecologically sustainable forest management is not possible without also considering key concurrent elements such as ecologically sustainable fire management, post-fire salvage logging, the intersection between forest logging and the fire-proneness of managed forests, and the role of old growth forests in carbon storage.
