Leadbeater’s Possum: background 4. Relevant information on the ecology, breeding biology, habitat requirements and distribution of Leadbeater’s possum Gymobelideus leadbeateri is provided contextually in the 2014 Victorian Action Statement,2 2015 Conservation Advice3 and the 2016 draft Recovery Plan. There is general agreement about most aspects of its biology. However, although Leadbeater’s possum is amongst the most intensively studied native animal species in Australia, there are important aspects of its ecology that are unknown or poorly known: these include its home range size and dispersal, the minimum area of habitat fragments that can sustain a viable population, its overall population size, the extent to which it can reside within regrowth vegetation, and factors that influence its reproductive success. 5. Notable aspects of the species include: a) Leadbeater’s possum comprises a monotypic genus: i.e., it is not closely related to any other species. b) It is one of Victoria’s faunal emblems.

c) It is now restricted to Victoria, with almost all of its distribution and population within the Central Highlands region. Its extent of occurrence is about 4000 km2.4 d) There are subfossil records from a wider distribution, including southeastern New South Wales, and historic records from northeastern Victoria. It was first recorded between 1867 and 1915 from the Koo Wee Rup Swamp area of southwestern Gippsland, but subsequent destruction of its habitat there led to its extirpation from that area. e) Leadbeater’s possum is essentially entirely arboreal. Because it rarely comes to the ground, its movements around its home range (e.g. for foraging and social reasons) are dependent upon a continuous spatially interconnected network of woody vegetation (branches, trunks and foliage of trees and tall shrubs). f) Suitable continuity in the understorey vegetation is affected by vegetation age, with this habitat component not present in very young regrowth and reducing again at about 50-80 years after disturbance (when most Acacia and other shrubs senesce and die). g) Leadbeater’s possum characteristically lives in small family groups (‘colonies’), with typically only one female in this group breeding. h) In high quality habitat, its home range size (i.e. the area in which a colony lives and defends) is 1 to 3 hectares, but this estimate is based on few data5, and home range size is likely to need to be larger in poorer quality habitat. i) Family groups of Leadbeater’s possum are typically sedentary and exhibit long-term site fidelity. However, some non-breeding individuals may disperse to seek breeding opportunities or to colonise unoccupied habitat. Such dispersing individuals may experience an elevated rate of mortality.6 j) Leadbeater’s possums obligatorily use hollows (with large internal dimensions) for dens during the day and as breeding sites, with these hollows almost always occurring in large mature eucalypts. Eucalypt trees typically do not form suitable hollows until they are at least 120 to 200 years old.7 Hence, populations of the species are dependent upon the occurrence of large old eucalypts, with typically more likelihood of the species occurring at sites with more large old hollow-bearing trees.8 k) Family parties of Leadbeater’s possum typically use, and rely on, multiple den sites within their territory, so the abundance and juxtaposition of tree hollows is especially important in determining habitat suitability and persistence and viability of colonies.

l) The diet of Leadbeater’s possum mostly comprises invertebrates and exudates (sugary secretions made by some insects and by plants, especially where cuts occur on foliage, branches or trunks). m) The fecundity of Leadbeater’s possum is relatively low, with 1-2 young produced per breeding female (and hence per colony) per breeding event and 1-2 litters per breeding female per year.9 n) Sexual maturity is attained at about 18 months, but first breeding typically does not occur until an individual is 2-3 years old. Maximum longevity recorded is 10-12 years, so generation length is about 6 years. o) With a few notable exceptions, Leadbeater’s possum occurs almost entirely in montane ash forests, especially those dominated by mountain ash Eucalyptus regnans trees of suitable age and stature (with appropriate hollows) and with suitable understorey. The minority exceptions comprise (i) a very small population (ca. 40 individuals) in a small strip of remnant lowland swamp forest (mostly dominated by Eucalyptus camphora) at Yellingbo;10 (ii) some small populations in sub-alpine snow gum Eucalyptus pauciflora woodlands within the Central Highlands;11 and (iii) some small populations in mixed-species eucalypt forests in and near the Central Highlands.12

6. Recent technical advances – most notably the use of remote cameras (camera traps) and thermal imagery – have allowed for much recent increase in knowledge of the distribution and habitat use of the species.13 As a result of these breakthroughs, there has been a significant increase in the number of sites from which Leadbeater’s possum has been recorded. This increase reflects an increase in survey effort and efficacy rather than any expansion in the possum’s distribution or increase in its population size. 7. Nonetheless, there has been no appropriate sampling effort in much of the possum’s putative range, and even surveys using camera traps and thermal imagery may fail to detect possums that are present in an area. Leadbeater’s possum: conservation status 8. The Australian government is legislatively committed to conserve threatened species, to seek their recovery and to prevent their extinction. For example, the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (‘EPBC Act’) states, at s3(2)(e)(i), that ‘in order to achieve its objectives, the Act: …enhances Australia’s capacity to ensure the conservation of its biodiversity by including

provisions to protect native species (and in particular prevent the extinction, and promote the recovery, of threatened species)’. 9. The Australian government also has obligations under the international Convention for Biological Diversity, including the United Nation’s Strategic Plan for Biodiversity Aichi Target 12, viz. ‘… by 2020 the extinction of known threatened species has been prevented and their conservation status, particularly those most in decline has been improved and sustained.’ Likewise, the United Nation’s 2015 Sustainable Development goals commit nations to ‘take urgent and significant action to reduce the degradation of natural habitats, halt the loss of biodiversity and, by 2020, protect and prevent the extinction of threatened species’ (Goal 15.5). 10. The conservation status assigned to a species under the EPBC Act and by the IUCN is based on the extent to which that species meets well established and explicit numerical thresholds for any of five criteria defined by a mix of parameters relating to total population size, the rate and continuity of change in population size, distributional extent, population fragmentation and modelling of population persistence. 11. Leadbeater’s possum has been listed as threatened (initially in the Endangered category) from the inception of the EPBC Act. It was listed previously as threatened under the Act’s preceding legislation, the Endangered Species Act. 12. The Australian conservation status of Leadbeater’s possum was reviewed in 2014-15 and it was uplisted to Critically Endangered in 2015, in recognition of its increasing extinction risk. As assessed by the independent Threatened Species Scientific Committee, and accepted by the Australian Minister for the Environment, it was found to qualify as Critically Endangered (the highest threatened category) on the basis of a reduction in its total population size of at least 80% over the previous three (possum) generations (i.e. 18 years: 1997-2015) (criterion A2(c)) and also on a projected decline in its population size of at least 80% over the next three (possum) generations (i.e. 2016- 2034) (criterion A3(c)). 13. This assessment of the rate of likely future decline incorporated due consideration of the array of timber-harvesting regulations and extent of reservation in operation in Victoria at the time: i.e. Leadbeater’s possum was assessed by the Threatened Species Scientific Committee and the Australian Minister for the Environment to be likely to experience a decline of at least 80% in population size over the 18 year period from 2016 to 2034 even allowing for that set of then-existing timber harvesting regulatory provisions. 14. The assessment of rate of population decline was informed largely by data from one of Australia’s most substantial and long-lasting biodiversity monitoring programs undertaken by Professor David Lindenmayer and colleagues from the Australian National University. Those studies have reported a substantial and ongoing chronic decline in occupancy by Leadbeater’s possum in monitoring sites widely spaced across the Central Highlands,14 with episodic periods of acute decline associated with recent severe and extensive wildfire events.15

15. The EPBC Act describes the Critically Endangered status as being applied only to species that are ‘facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild in the immediate future’ (s.179(3)). 16. It is challenging to quantify the risk of extinction, or the likely number of years to extinction for Leadbeater’s possum. This is partly because there are some gaps in knowledge, notably in relation to the species’ total population size, and partly because population trajectory is substantially influenced by stochastic events, notably the incidence and extent of severe wildfire. A recent expert elicitation evaluated the extinction risk for Australian bird and mammal species, and estimated that, on the assumption of continuation of current management, there was a 29% chance of extinction for Leadbeater’s possum within 20 years.16 17. Leadbeater’s possum is one of only nine Australian mammal species with the most imperilled conservation status (Critically Endangered). As evidence of the high extinction risk of species in this category, one of these nine Critically Endangered mammal species (the Christmas Island pipistrelle) has become extinct since its EPBC Act listing17 and another (the Christmas Island shrew) is almost certainly so. 18. Following a public submission by the Australian Forest Products Association in March 2017 seeking to downlist the species (e.g. to Endangered status), the Australian Minister for the Environment instituted a review of its conservation status. That review has not yet been completed. The proposal to down-list the species was informed largely by new information (see para 6 above) suggesting that the population size of Leadbeater’s possum was conceivably larger than previously recognised, and that recent sampling had discovered many new colonies. However, neither the overall population size nor the number of colonies are explicitly relevant parameters to the criterion on which its current listing is based, which is the proportional rate of decrease in population size. 19. Independent of the EPBC Act listing, Leadbeater’s possum is also listed as Critically Endangered under the global Red List of threatened species,18 as evaluated by the IUCN. This status was also determined on the criterion of severe rate (>80% over the past three generations, and also the future three generations) of population decline. 20. The classification process for threatened species is somewhat different under Victorian legislation. Leadbeater’s possum is listed as threatened under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988, and accorded a status of Endangered under the 2013 Advisory List of Threatened Vertebrate Fauna in Victoria. Leadbeater’s possum: threats 21. In general, the major threats to Leadbeater’s possum are well recognised and well demonstrated, notably in the draft Recovery Plan, the 2014 Victorian Action Statement and the 2015 conservation advice. The most important threat is loss, fragmentation and reduction in quality of suitable habitat. As described below, there are nuanced variations on this threat, and several contributing factors to it.

22. Other threats include global climate change (which is likely to have direct impacts on this species, and indirect impacts through increasing the probability and frequency of severe wildfire events), decreased genetic diversity (leading to inbreeding depression) arising from fragmentation of the population into small isolated subpopulations, and predation by feral cats.19 23. Loss, degradation and fragmentation of habitat mostly occurs because of wildfire and timber- harvesting.20 Historically, parts of the range of Leadbeater’s possum were also lost through vegetation clearance, mostly for agriculture. The establishment of roads and track networks can also result in local habitat loss and fragmentation, especially so as roading interrupts the vegetation connectivity on which the species depends. The small area of habitat of the lowland subpopulation at Yellingbo is also degraded by changed hydrology and may be affected further by browsing by deer and wallabies. 24. Timber-harvesting (and accompanying and associated disturbance, such as construction of track networks and post-harvest burning) detrimentally affects Leadbeater’s possums in many ways, including: a) Almost certain direct mortality of Leadbeater’s possum in any den trees felled during harvesting. b) Local and landscape-scale reduction, immediately and into the future, in the abundance of the possum’s key limiting factor, tree hollows, and hence reduction in the carrying capacity for possums at the local and catchment-scale levels. In relation to this matter, large old hollow- bearing trees are a scarce and rapidly diminishing resource in these forests21, so have particular value. However, the much larger cohort of trees regrowing after the 1939 wildfires (which are especially targeted for harvesting) is also a critical resource. These generally do not have hollows now, but in the future these will provide the next major source of hollows, so long as they are retained in the landscape. c) Habitat fragmentation and hence reduction in capability of individual possums to disperse and colonise new areas, or move over time as their current habitat becomes unsuitable. d) Habitat fragmentation and hence reduction in gene flow, leading to reduced genetic heterogeneity in subpopulations in retained patches. e) Habitat fragmentation and hence reduction in the viability of subpopulations retained in remaining fragments. f) Susceptibility of retained trees to being killed by fire in post-harvesting management burns, and hence reduction in habitat quality and extent in retained areas.22 g) Susceptibility of retained large old hollow-bearing trees to windfall or other disturbance.

h) Potential increases in the severity of wildfire (and hence habitat destruction) in a landscape with substantial areas of regeneration following timber harvesting.23 Leadbeater’s possum: conservation management and regulatory protection 25. Notwithstanding dedicated efforts, there has been no recent success in captive breeding of Leadbeater’s possum, and no sustained success arising from the few translocation efforts undertaken to date. Hence, the conservation outlook for Leadbeater’s possum is likely to be entirely contingent on conservation management actions in situ, i.e., on maintaining or enhancing populations and their habitat where they exist in the wild. 26. Leadbeater’s possum has been the subject of some research and conservation management extending over several decades, with this effort originally framed through the first (and currently the only approved) national Recovery Plan in 1997.24 27. Leadbeater’s possum now occurs almost entirely within the area subject to the Central Highlands Regional Forest Agreement (‘RFA’), established in 1998; and hence its conservation management is rooted in regulations and actions within that agreement, based on the Regional Forest Agreements Act 2002. Part 3 (only, relating to permits) of the EPBC Act does not apply to an RFA forestry operation that is undertaken in accordance with an RFA (s.6(4)). 28. Under the RFA, the Central Highlands Forest Management Plan includes the conservation aim ‘to ensure that all indigenous plant and animal species and communities survive and flourish throughout the Central Highlands’.25 The Plan also included guidelines for threatened species generally and for Leadbeater’s possum specifically, which are now outlined in Management Standards and Procedures for Timber Harvesting Operations.26 29. The RFA notes that management guidelines and prescriptions in the Plan may be reviewed ‘when new information on the impact of forest management or utilisation activities on biological or cultural values becomes available’ and ‘if the status of a threatened species changes’, such as the 2015 up- listing of the conservation status of Leadbeater’s possum. Notwithstanding 20 years of implementation of the RFA, the species is not ‘flourishing’ but rather continues to decline and is recognised to be ‘facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild in the immediate future’ (i.e., the EPBC Act definition of Critically Endangered status). 30. The RFA process is founded on the 1992 National Forest Policy Statement27 which commits inter alia to the establishment of a comprehensive adequate and representative forest reserve system developed and implemented to be consistent with the JANIS (Joint ANZECC/MCFFA National Forest Policy Statement Implementation Sub-committee) criteria. This comprises a mix of dedicated reserves, informal reserves and prescriptions that provides for ‘the maintenance of ecological viability

and integrity of populations, species and communities’,28 and that ‘the reserve system should seek to maximise the area of high quality habitat for known elements of biodiversity wherever practical, but with particular reference to … the special needs of rare, vulnerable or endangered species’.29 31. Conservation management priorities are also provided in the 2015 Conservation Advice. Within that Advice, the Threatened Species Scientific Committee stated that ‘(it) considers the most effective way to prevent further decline and rebuild the population of Leadbeater’s possum is to cease timber harvesting within montane ash forests of the Central Highlands’.30 32. From 2013, the Victorian government sought to address the conservation of Leadbeater’s possum through the Leadbeater’s Possum Advisory Group (LPAG) planning process. This initiative was predicated on the compromise of ‘supporting the recovery of the possum while maintaining a sustainable timber industry’ in the Central Highlands. Because of this dual role in its terms of reference, the package of actions recommended by LPAG fell short of conservation actions and prescriptions that would have maximised the likelihood of avoiding the species’ extinction and ensuring its recovery.31 33. The Victorian government has established a Leadbeater’s possum reserve system of 305 km2 of high quality habitat, incorporating parts of existing National Park and with areas in state forest incorporated into Special Protection Zones. 34. Within state forests, LPAG recommended, and the Victorian government subsequently implemented, an explicit protection (i.e., a Timber Harvesting Exclusion Zone (THEZ)) for sites known to contain Leadbeater’s possum, with a 200 metre buffer around the confirmed record (equating to a 12.6 ha circle). However, note paragraph 67 below, showing that later records that happen to fall within a THEZ defined by an earlier record are not themselves generally accorded a 200 metre buffer.32 35. A dedicated program of targeted surveys for Leadbeater’s possum has been undertaken by the Department of Environment Land Water and Planning, especially to areas in which modelling has predicted high likelihood of their occurrence, and by VicForests to forest coupes proposed for timber harvesting where there is perceived to be high likelihood of the species being present. Many targeted surveys have also been conducted by volunteers, with confirmed Leadbeater’s possum records compiled on a publicly accessible database of records maintained by the Department of Environment Land Water and Planning. 36. Additional prescriptions in state forests are designed to protect inter alia streamside areas, rainforest areas, large old hollow-bearing trees, some other threatened species, and patches of old-growth forest or forests containing high densities (higher than an explicit threshold) of large old trees. These exclusions from timber harvesting are likely to proffer some benefits to Leadbeater’s possum.

37. As a means of mitigating shortage of tree hollows due to timber harvesting operations and other factors, there has been some recent research on the provision of nest boxes and on artificially creating hollows in trees (using chainsaws). These measures show some potential but are unlikely to be effective at landscape scale. Leadbeater’s possum: adequacy of conservation measures 38. The suite of protection measures currently in place for Leadbeater’s possum is failing to recover the species. Its ongoing decline demonstrates the insufficiency of each and all of the existing provisions. 39. Recent analyses have demonstrated that the dedicated Leadbeater’s possum reserve system is inadequate for the long-term maintenance of population viability for Leadbeater’s possum or to achieve its recovery.33 The dedicated Leadbeater’s possum reserve system is estimated to comprise less than 8% of the extent of suitable habitat for Leadbeater’s possum, and collectively that reserve system complemented by all other formal reserves is estimated to comprise less than 30% of the extent of habitat for Leadbeater’s possum.34 A much larger network of formal protected areas is needed,35 and/or an assurance that the mixture of regulations and other protective measures operating outside the formal reserve system is sufficient to maintain and recover those populations outside the formal reserve system. 40. The protection offered by the formal reserve system to Leadbeater’s possum cannot be guaranteed because habitat suitability within the system can be suddenly subverted by extensive and severe wildfire, leading to an abrupt and long-lasting decline in population size and increase in extinction risk.36 41. The suite of protection measures employed outside the reserve system has marked suboptimalities, and hence cannot be considered to reliably, robustly and adequately provide effective conservation for Leadbeater’s possum:37 a) Not all areas in which timber-harvesting is proposed, or possible in the future, are surveyed (adequately) for the presence of Leadbeater’s possum. b) Even if surveyed using prescribed standards, there is a reasonable likelihood that surveys will not detect Leadbeater’s possum if present. c) Leadbeater’s possum may be absent from a forest coupe at the time of survey but that forest coupe area may – if unlogged – in the future be occupied by Leadbeater’s possum, depending upon other landscape-scale factors (e.g. fire may render other areas unsuitable but maintain habitat suitability for this area).

d) A 200 metre protective radius placed around the location of a record of Leadbeater’s possum may not encompass the core or entire home range area of a possum colony, and hence will be insufficient to retain that colony. e) Even if it encompasses a possum home range, a 200 metre buffered area is likely to protect only a single colony, or small set of neighbouring colonies. Where isolated by timber harvesting, track networks or other forms of habitat loss, such small subpopulations are unlikely to be viable. f) The network of 200 metre buffered areas (Timber Harvesting Exclusion Zones) comprises a fragmented archipelago of retained habitat patches, with such fragmentation likely to inhibit possum dispersal, be inefficient to manage, and lead to cumulative losses of the small subpopulations within protected fragments. g) A 200 metre buffered area may be exposed to ongoing and cumulative degradation from disturbance around its edges, especially if timber-harvesting has occurred at those edges. Such degradation may include trees in the patch perimeter being killed in post-harvesting management fire. 42. The shortcomings of these prescriptions may be amplified if they are not properly implemented in the field: for example, where timber harvesting inadvertently or carelessly encroaches on protective buffers, or where post-harvest management fires are not sufficiently well controlled such that they kill trees in retained buffers. 43. Some of these general shortcomings – notably the extent of degradation of the patch through peripheral disturbance, the size and hence viability of protected subpopulations, and the landscape- scale disconnectivity – may be redressed if the currently nugatory protective buffer around Leadbeater’s possum records is increased in size. The draft Recovery Plan recommends that the buffer size be reviewed in order to increase the likelihood of achieving the recovery of the species. With the primary objective of preventing the extinction of Leadbeater’s possum, a buffer size of 1 kilometre has been recommended, based on the demonstrated sensitivity of the species to landscape-scale disturbance.38 For example, a consensus of experts consulted in the LPAG process concluded that a timber harvesting exclusion zone of 200 metre radius around existing known colonies would have only a ‘low to medium’ impact on reducing extinction-risk, whereas increasing the exclusion zone to 500 metre radius would have a ‘medium’ impact on reducing extinction-risk, and increasing it to 1 kilometre radius would have a ‘high’ impact on reducing extinction-risk.39 Individual coupes and cumulative impacts 44. The ongoing chronic decline of Leadbeater’s possum and its current dire conservation outlook is a consequence of historic and current, incremental and cumulative pressures and losses. Across its range, no population is secure from the risk of wildfire, most of its population occurs in areas without formal protection, many to most subpopulations are likely to be affected by timber harvesting in their vicinity, and many of its increasingly fragmented subpopulations are likely to be unviable and destined for extirpation. In this context, the fate of any subpopulation or location may not of itself radically change the conservation outlook of the species but rather it will contribute gradationally to the likelihood of the species’ persistence or extinction. On current trends, the species is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild in the immediate future. A reduction in the viability of any

subpopulation will increase that risk; conversely, any subpopulation made more secure through protective mechanisms will reduce the risk of the species’ extinction. By analogy, it is impossible to state which of the many hundreds of days my father spent at the beach in his childhood caused or contributed significantly to his skin cancer; each may have contributed but none definitively so, and it is the totality of exposure to the events that is relevant. Explicit questions 45. The Letters of Instruction (at Annexures A(i) and A(ii)) pose a set of eight questions. I address these questions below, but note that all answers are informed by the contextual information above. Question 1. 46. “Do you agree with the description of Leadbeater’s Possum species, its distribution, relevant biology/ecology (including habitat) and threats on pages 1-7 of the enclosed Leadbeater’s Possum Conservation Advice? Is there anything you would like to add? Please describe the severity of the impact of forestry operations on populations of Leadbeater’s Possums, both at present and on future populations?” 47. The Conservation Advice provides a reasonable and objective assessment of Leadbeater’s possum’s distribution, biology and threats, and these are distilled in paragraphs 5 and 21-24 above. This species continues to be one of the most-researched native mammals in Australia, and new and ongoing research since the 2015 Conservation Advice has progressed understanding somewhat of survey techniques, population size, distribution and habitat use, home range size and movements, factors determining habitat suitability, extent of suitable habitat, and responses to the artificial creation of tree hollows. However, none of these incremental advances in knowledge since the Conservation Advice would significantly change the assessment presented in the Conservation Advice about the possum’s distribution, biology and threats. 48. My assessment of the impacts of timber harvesting operations on Leadbeater’s possum is noted above in paragraphs 23, 24 and 41-43. The major factor causing the now long-lasting decline of Leadbeater’s possum, and driving its future decline, is the loss, fragmentation and degradation of suitable habitat, and particularly the habitat feature of large old trees bearing many hollows. The main threats causing this decline in extent, quality and continuity of habitat are wildfire and timber- harvesting. Largely, wildfire is an occasional natural risk for which there is relatively little pre-emptive control or post-impact response; and it causes acute reduction in population size for Leadbeater’s possum that may take many decades to redress. In contrast, timber-harvesting is a continuing incremental threat that should (nominally) be more readily managed. However, the current management of timber-harvesting in the Central Highlands is suboptimal for the conservation outlook of Leadbeater’s possum. For the reasons noted in paragraphs 23, 24 and 41-43, timber harvesting is contributing to the ongoing decline of Leadbeater’s possum (and its habitat) and increasing its already high risk of extinction. Given the long timeframe required for the dominant trees in montane ash forests to develop hollows suitable for Leadbeater’s possum, the detrimental impact of current timber harvesting operations on the species will endure for a century or more (should the species happen to survive that long). Question 2. 49. “In your opinion, is there a high degree of certainty that taken together, the management actions in the Action Statement, the current reserve system (or area unavailable for logging identified at paragraph 127 of the Paul Affidavit), and the application of the management measures at paragraph 12 above [i.e. in the Letter of instruction, and relating to regulatory protection of some habitat

12

attributes], will ensure that there is no real chance or possibility that forestry operations in the Central Highlands will not have a significant impact on Leadbeater’s Possum?” 50. This complex question is addressed in paragraphs 38-43 above. Notwithstanding the existence of the current dedicated reserve system and a suite of regulations seeking to provide some protection to some habitat attributes during proposed or actual timber harvesting operations, the population trajectory of Leadbeater’s possum is of continuing decline; i.e. the existing set of threats (including timber harvesting) is causing the possum to continue to decline, and the existing set of conservation measures is not leading to the recovery of the species or any marked reduction in its extinction risk. In part, this is because the set of conservation measures is rooted in the impossible compromise at the foundation of the Regional Forest Agreement process and in the compromised forestry management measures established by the Victorian government arising from the LPAG process: these were not management or regulatory measures that were designed to provide the best opportunity to prevent the extinction of this species. 51. The existing set of timber harvesting operations has and will have a significant detrimental impact on the current and future population size of, and conservation outlook for, Leadbeater’s possum. It becomes reductio ad absurdum to evaluate whether each or any component (e.g. any particular coupe) of that set of current timber harvesting operations individually has a significant impact: it is the incremental and cumulative impacts across the set that is collectively relevant and significant. Question 3. 52. “On the basis of your site inspections and any information you consider relevant, please provide your opinion, for each coupe or coupe group, on whether or not the forestry operations have had, are having or likely to have a significant impact on the Leadbeater’s Possum” 53. In December 2018, I visited a series of recently logged coupes and coupes proposed for timber harvesting. During visits I used agreed maps and a GPS to identify and delineate the coupes and protected features. The visited coupes comprised: a) Ada Tree: logged coupe 348-506-0003 (Blue Vein) and scheduled coupe 344-509-0007 (Blue Cat); b) New Turkey Spur: logged coupe 348-515-0004 (Greendale) and scheduled coupe 348-504-0005 (Gallipoli); c) Rubicon: logged coupes 288-516-0007 (Golden Snitch), 288-516-0006 (Hogsmeade); 287-511- 0006 (Houston) and 287-511-0009 (Rocketman); d) Salvage Creek: logged coupe 463-504-0009 (De Valera); e) Starlings Gap: logged coupes 345-503-0005 (Bullseye) and 345-506-0004 (Opposite Fitzies), and scheduled coupes 345-504-0003 (Smyth Creek), 345-505-0005 (Starlings Gap), 345-505-0006 (Hairy Hyde) and 345-505-0009 (Blacksands Road); f) Sylvia Creek and Kalatha Creek: scheduled coupes 297-526-0001 (Gun Barrel), 297-530-0001 (Imperium), 297-530-0002 (Utopia) and 298-50900001 (South Col); g) Triangle: logged coupe 317-508-0008 (Professor Xavier); and h) Hermitage Creek: scheduled coupes 307-505-0001 (Drum Circle), 307-505-0009 (Flute) and 307- 505-0010 (San Diego). 54. I note two main caveats in interpreting the impacts upon Leadbeater’s possum of the recently completed and proposed harvesting operations in these individual coupes.

13

a) At paragraphs 44 and 51 above, I recognise that it is the cumulative and incremental impact of past, current and proposed timber harvesting activities that presents a key threat to Leadbeater’s possum, and that it is an almost impossible exercise in reductionism to attempt to specify the impacts of the management treatment of any particular coupe upon the overall conservation status or extinction risk of Leadbeater’s possum. Harvesting in any coupe in the possum’s range will contribute incrementally to a reduction in the likelihood of recovery of Leadbeater’s possum. b) Assessment of the responses by Leadbeater’s possum to (and hence the significance of impacts of) a harvesting event at any particular coupe will be most robust if it is informed by knowledge of inter alia (i) the extent to which survey effort was adequate to detect any Leadbeater’s possum present in the coupe prior to harvesting; (ii) the number of Leadbeater’s possums resident in, or using at least in part, that coupe; (iii) the short-term extent of possum mortality associated with timber-harvesting within or adjacent to their home range; (iv) the extent to which the harvesting operations constrains options for dispersal and gene flow of and to that population; (v) whether management prescriptions have been adequately and prudently implemented in the field (e.g., whether post-harvest management fires have or have not burnt and killed retained trees or habitat patches); (vi) future stochastic events relating to the incidence and location of wildfires (e.g. a Leadbeater’s possum colony in a coupe scheduled for harvesting may be relatively inconsequential at regional scale if much of the neighbouring landscape is unaffected by future wildfire, but may be of much higher consequence if future wildfire happens to burn most of the nearby landscape but not the coupe itself); and (vii) the total population size of Leadbeater’s possum, such that any losses of possums from a coupe can be contextualised numerically through population viability analyses. Most of this information is unavailable. 55. Question 3 refers to ‘significant impact’. In relation to the EPBC Act, this is defined – qualitatively and with Delphic imprecision – as “an impact which is important, notable or of consequence, having regard to its context or intensity. Whether or not an action is likely to have a significant impact depends upon the sensitivity, value and quality of the environment which is impacted, and upon the intensity, duration, magnitude and geographic extent of the impacts”.40 56. With respect to the general definition, I purposefully and explicitly documented ‘context’ in the set of paragraphs from 4 to 44 above. Of particular pertinence is that Leadbeater’s possum is recognised nationally as Critically Endangered, is exhibiting a continuing decline that on current trends will result in its extinction, that the Australian government has national and international commitments to seek to prevent extinction, that forest management is predicated on objectives that native species will flourish and that threatened species will be adequately conserved and will recover, and that the current set of conservation and management measures directly or indirectly relating to the conservation of Leadbeater’s possum is suboptimal and is not staunching the species’ decline. In this context, any action that results in the immediate or future reduction in numbers of Leadbeater’s possum, reduces the viability of any subpopulation, reduces the abundance of the key resource of large old hollow- bearing trees, or reduces the extent, quality or connectivity of habitat is at least ‘notable’ and ‘of consequence’. Furthermore, the impacts of any timber-harvesting event may be of considerable duration: harvesting is likely to lead immediately or over time to reduced survivorship of any large old hollow-bearing trees that were present pre-harvesting, even if these are ‘retained’ in accordance with prescriptions. Harvesting will also curtail the option for the next cohort of trees to form hollows in the future, causing the abundance of hollow-bearing trees in the environment to be reduced over many decades. Duration should also be considered with respect to the long-lasting impacts of habitat and

40 Commonwealth of Australia (2013). Matters of National Environmental Significance. Significant impact guidelines 1.1. (Department of the Environment, Canberra.) 14

population fragmentation resulting from the track and road network established in harvesting and in the harvesting-related increased spatial discontinuity of old large trees. Intensity of the impact is also evidenced in any comparison between a multi-storey floristically diverse tall forest prior to timber harvesting and the scorched earth ‘wasteland’ apparent once that stand has been logged and the residue burned (Figure 1): to a Leadbeater’s possum, there would be an intense and sudden contrast between a forest that provides all nest site, food and other resources for it before timber harvesting and the radically changed area immediately after harvesting, which would be of no value to it.

Figure 1. Illustration of intensity of impact: left, a forest coupe scheduled for harvesting (Utopia); right, a coupe that has been subjected to recent harvesting and post-harvest burning (Greendale).

57. The guidelines further add that “an action is likely to have a significant impact on a critically endangered or endangered species if there is a real chance or possibility that it will: lead to a long- term decrease in the size of the population; reduce the area of occupancy of the species; fragment an existing population into two or more populations; adversely affect habitat critical to the survival of a species; disrupt the breeding cycle of a population; modify, destroy, remove or decrease the availability or quality of habitat to the extent that the species is likely to decline; result in invasive species that are harmful to a critically endangered or endangered species becoming established in the endangered or critically endangered species’ habitat; introduce disease that may cause the species to decline; or interfere with the recovery of the species”.41 The guidelines further define a ‘population’ of a species as “an occurrence of the species in a particular area … occurrences include but are not limited to a geographically distinct regional population, or collection of local populations; or a population, or collection of local populations, that occurs within a particular bioregion”.42 Note that, by contradistinction to the definitions used for Vulnerable species, it is likely that the guidelines do not

41 ibid 42 ibid 15

require populations of Critically Endangered species to be ‘important’ for an impact on them to be considered significant. 58. I make the following interpretations on these aspects: a) Long-term decrease in population size: the population of Leadbeater’s possum is already undergoing long-term decrease. It is reasonable to assume that any factor that causes immediate loss of individuals, or reduces the population viability of a colony, will contribute further to that long-term decrease in population size. b) Area of occupancy: as used in practice by the Threatened Species Scientific Committee (and hence presumably consistent with application by the Department of the Environment and Energy), ‘area of occupancy’ (in km2) is calculated following IUCN guidelines, viz., the number of 2 km x 2 km grid cells containing (recent) records of the species, multiplied by four.43 Hence, unless a Leadbeater’s possum colony is very isolated from all other (known) colonies, it is unlikely that any localised action (e.g. harvesting of a single coupe) would lead to a reduction in the area of occupancy. c) Fragment an existing population: the extent of fragmentation of populations (and hence disruption of gene flow) of Leadbeater’s possum in forests of the Central Highlands is not well established. Extensive areas of recently-harvested forest are likely to reduce habitat connectivity between some colonies, at least temporarily. However, connectivity may be maintained to some extent through prescriptions that retain streamside reserves and other conservation features. d) Adversely affect critical habitat: timber harvesting has clear immediate adverse impacts on habitat critical to the survival of Leadbeater’s possum (see also responses to Question 6 below), especially forest structure and the resources (food and nest sites) it provides for any Leadbeater’s possums present. This impact is especially pronounced in the short term, but over longer periods (many decades) any harvesting event is also likely to reduce the regional and possum range-wide abundance of large old hollow-bearing trees, even if prescriptions dictate that (some of) these should be retained during harvesting. e) Disrupt the breeding cycle: Leadbeater’s possum may be sensitive to the disturbance involved in timber-harvesting in their neighbourhood and such sensitivity may cause some disruption to breeding, but there is no evidence for or against this proposition; f) Modify, destroy, remove or decrease the availability or quality of habitat to the extent that the species is likely to decline: timber-harvesting modifies, destroys, removes and decreases critical habitat for Leadbeater’s possum immediately and over decadal scale and this impact contributes to the ongoing decline of Leadbeater’s possum and its key resource of large old hollow-bearing trees; g) Result in establishment of introduced species that are harmful: there is limited evidence for or against this proposition. Feral cats are now known to kill and eat Leadbeater’s possums,44 and feral cats often use track networks45 and are more abundant and hunt more effectively in recently

disturbed areas,46 so may be more likely to become established (and have more impacts on Leadbeater’s possum) in forests that have been disturbed by timber-harvesting, roading and management fires. However, the evidence base for this proposition is thin. h) Introduce disease: this is not plausible. i) Interfere with the recovery: the recovery of Leadbeater’s possum is tenuous at best, so any losses of population, habitat or key habitat features is likely to further constrain, compromise or interfere with recovery. 59. In the following paragraphs, I provide an opinion on the likelihood that particular timber harvesting operations have had, are having or are likely to have a significant impact on Leadbeater’s possum. I note the guidelines’ definition of likely – “it is not necessary for a significant impact to have a greater than 50% chance of happening; it is sufficient if a significant impact on the environment is a real or not remote chance or possibility”.47 60. Ada Tree (logged coupe Blue Vein). As described in the Second Paul Affidavit at paragraphs 327 to 370, no Leadbeater’s possums were detected at this coupe in VicForests’ pre-harvest surveys using their standard survey protocol and effort (paragraphs 343-345). However, at least two subsequent occurrences of Leadbeater’s possum were reported at this coupe, including one record adjacent to an area that had recently been harvested (such that its subsequently established buffer area encompassed in part now-harvested areas: Second Paul Affidavit, paragraph 365). There are many records of Leadbeater’s possum abutting this coupe (and the nearby scheduled Blue Cat coupe), and there were many old and large mountain ash trees in the coupe area, indicating that the general area had high suitability for the species. Based on the reasoning given in paragraphs 55 to 58 above, I consider that timber harvesting in Blue Vein coupe is likely to have had and will continue to have a significant impact on Leadbeater’s possum because it has: contributed to a long-term decrease in population size; adversely affected critical habitat; modified, destroyed, removed or decreased the availability or quality of habitat to the extent that the species is likely to decline; and interfered with its recovery. 61. New Turkey Spur (logged coupe Greendale). The logged coupe was montane ash forest that provided suitable habitat for Leadbeater’s possum. There are Leadbeater’s possum records in the coupe area, for which exclusion zones were provided. It is challenging to evaluate the significance of the recent harvesting activity at this coupe, but it is likely that has resulted in at least short-term diminution of the area of critical habitat for Leadbeater’s possum, and is likely to contribute further to long-term decrease in its population size and interfere with its recovery. 62. Rubicon (logged coupes Golden Snitch, Hogsmeade, Houston and Rocketman). Prior to harvesting these coupes had montane ash forests providing suitable habitat for Leadbeater’s possum and there were confirmed records in the vicinity of all coupes with confirmed records from the Hogsmeade coupe (subsequently protected with a Timber Harvesting Exclusion Zone). Inspection of these coupes showed that at least some vegetation in retained strips had been killed or severely damaged by post- harvest fire (Figure 2). It is challenging to evaluate the significance of the recent harvesting activities for these four coupes, but these actions are likely to have resulted in at least short-term diminution of the area of critical habitat for Leadbeater’s possum, and are likely to contribute further to long-term decrease in the population size of Leadbeater’s possum and interfere with its recovery.

63. Salvage Creek (logged coupe De Valera). Prior to harvesting this coupe contained montane ash forest and had at least two records of Leadbeater’s possum abutting the coupe (protected by Timber Harvesting Exclusion Zones) and many more records within a kilometre or so of the coupe. Some retained old trees appear to have been severely damaged by post-harvesting fire (Figure 3), rendering them less likely to persist and hence less likely to provide hollows for Leadbeater’s possum into the future. I consider that timber harvesting in De Valera coupe is likely to have had and will continue to have a significant impact on Leadbeater’s possum because it has: contributed to a long- term decrease in population size; adversely affected critical habitat; modified, destroyed, removed or decreased the availability or quality of habitat to the extent that the species is likely to decline; and interfered with its recovery.

64. Starlings Gap (logged coupes Bullseye and Opposite Fitzies, and part-logged Hairy Hyde). Prior to harvesting, these coupes largely comprised montane ash and mixed species forests suitable for Leadbeater’s possum and had records for Leadbeater’s possum abutting (Bullseye) or within (Opposite Fitzies, Hairy Hyde) the coupe area. As noted in the Second Paul Affidavit at paragraph 372-385, a Leadbeater’s possum record was reported at the centre of the Hairy Hyde coupe after the initiation of harvesting, and parts of the area within 200 metres of this record had recently been harvested. Likewise, as noted in the Second Paul Affidavit at paragraph 391b(iii), there is a Leadbeater’s possum record at the southern edge of this coupe, for which the 200 metre buffer had already been partly harvested. 65. The exclusion zone for the Leadbeater’s possum colony at the centre of Opposite Fitzies is now almost entirely surrounded by recently harvested areas (Figure 4), rendering this population highly isolated and with likely reduced viability. There are many other records of Leadbeater’s possum in the vicinity of these coupes, and recent and scheduled logging is likely to lead to a high degree of fragmentation of possum populations in this area. Timber harvesting in these coupes is likely to have had and will continue to have a significant impact on Leadbeater’s possum because it has: contributed to a long-term decrease in population size; adversely affected critical habitat; modified, destroyed, removed or decreased the availability or quality of habitat to the extent that the species is likely to decline; and interfered with its recovery.

66. Triangle (logged coupe Professor Xavier). Prior to harvesting, this coupe largely comprised montane ash forest suitable for Leadbeater’s possum. The pre-harvest survey report further noted ‘high amount of mid-storey connectivity’ and ‘good habitat trees’ for Leadbeater’s possum at survey sites48. There are several records of Leadbeater’s possum in the coupe area, including of very young possums and possums carrying nest material49. Known records were protected in part by Timber Harvesting Exclusion Zones. 67. However, as described in paragraph 247 of the Second Paul affidavit, later records of Leadbeater’s possums that fall within an already established Timber Harvest Exclusion Zone encompassing one or more earlier Leadbeater’s possum records are not further buffered unless they are demonstrably a different colony. As a consequence of this protocol, harvesting occurred immediately adjacent to a later Leadbeater’s possum record (see Figure 5). Inspection also indicated that harvesting may also have encroached on and damaged riparian strips in this coupe (Figure 6).

Figure 5. Extract from map 14C, showing Leadbeater’s possum record at the centre of Professor Xavier logged coupe, not accorded any additional protection because it fell within an already established 200 metre radius zone established around previous records. Because of this protocol, harvesting occurred immediately adjacent to this Leadbeater’s possum record.

68. Timber harvesting in the Professor Xavier coupe is likely to have had and will continue to have a significant impact on Leadbeater’s possum because it has: contributed to a long-term decrease in population size; adversely affected critical habitat; modified, destroyed, removed or decreased the availability or quality of habitat to the extent that the species is likely to decline; and interfered with its recovery. Question 4. 69. “For the coupes in paragraphs 17(c), 17(d) and 17(f) above [i.e. in the Letter of Instruction, and relating to Rubicon coupes (Golden Snitch, Hogsmeade, Houston and Rocketman), Salvage Creek coupe (De Valera), and Sylvia Creek scheduled coupes] please confirm whether or not there is a 20 metre vegetation buffer to screen timber harvesting operations and new road alignments from view. If not, please describe your observations.” 70. I elect to not answer this question as it does not relate to my area of expertise. Question 5. 71. “On the basis of your site inspection and any information you consider relevant, please provide your opinion, for each coupe or coupe group, on whether or not forestry operations for the scheduled coupes undertaken in a similar manner as the logged coupes are likely to have a significant impact on the Leadbeater’s Possum”. 72. Ada Tree (scheduled coupe Blue Cat). This montane ash forest has suitable habitat for Leadbeater’s possum, there are records of Leadbeater’s possum within the coupe, and many records adjacent to and overlapping with the coupe. Timber harvesting in this coupe is likely to have a significant impact on Leadbeater’s possum because it: will contribute to a long-term decrease in population size; adversely affect critical habitat; will modify, destroy, remove or decrease the availability or quality of habitat to the extent that the species is likely to decline; and will interfere with its recovery.

73. New Turkey Spur (scheduled coupe Gallipoli). This montane ash forest has suitable habitat for Leadbeater’s possum, and there are records of Leadbeater’s possum adjacent to and overlapping with the coupe. Timber harvesting in this coupe is likely to have a significant impact on Leadbeater’s possum because it: will contribute to a long-term decrease in population size; adversely affect critical habitat; will modify, destroy, remove or decrease the availability or quality of habitat to the extent that the species is likely to decline; and will interfere with its recovery. 74. Starlings Gap (scheduled coupes Smyth Creek, Starlings Gap, Hairy Hyde and Blacksands Road). Note that the Hairy Hyde coupe is also considered at paragraphs 64 and 65 above. The largely montane ash forests in these scheduled coupes provide suitable habitat for Leadbeater’s possum. Furthermore, a substantial component of both Starling’s Gap and Blacksands Road coupes comprises habitat modelled to be of high suitability for Leadbeater’s possum. There are records of Leadbeater’s possum from Starling’s Gap, Hairy Hyde and Smyth Creek, and records adjacent to Blacksands Road. Timber harvesting in these coupes (and further harvesting beyond that already undertaken in Hairy Hyde) is likely to have a significant impact on Leadbeater’s possum because it: will contribute to a long-term decrease in population size; adversely affect critical habitat; will modify, destroy, remove or decrease the availability or quality of habitat to the extent that the species is likely to decline; and will interfere with its recovery. 75. Sylvia Creek and Kalatha Creek (scheduled coupes Gun Barrel, Imperium, Utopia and South Col). These coupes contain montane ash forests, with large trees and extensive areas of interconnected understorey. A substantial component of Imperium and Utopia coupes comprises habitat modelled to be of high suitability for Leadbeater’s possum. There are records of Leadbeater’s possum adjacent to all four of these coupes. Timber harvesting in these coupes is likely to have a significant impact on Leadbeater’s possum because it: will contribute to a long-term decrease in population size; adversely affect critical habitat; will modify, destroy, remove or decrease the availability or quality of habitat to the extent that the species is likely to decline; and will interfere with its recovery. 76. Hermitage Creek (scheduled coupes Drum Circle, Flute and San Diego). These coupes comprise mostly mixed species forests. To my knowledge there are no records of Leadbeater’s possum in or adjacent to the coupes. Timber harvesting in these coupes is not likely to have a significant impact on Leadbeater’s possum. Question 6. 77. “What is the habitat critical to the survival of Leadbeater’s Possum and is the extent and quality of that habitat increasing or decreasing?” 78. The guidelines for significant impacts define habitat critical to the survival of a species as “areas that are necessary for activities such as foraging, breeding, roosting or dispersal; for the long-term maintenance of the species ..., to maintain genetic diversity and long term evolutionary development; or for the reintroduction of populations or recovery of the species …”50 79. More so than for most threatened species, the conservation of Leadbeater’s possum is dependent upon the maintenance or enhancement of habitat (extent, continuity and condition). This is because Leadbeater’s possum has very specific habitat requirements relating to den site availability, diet, tree species composition and stature, and understorey physical characteristics. Almost all of its threats relate to habitat, rather than to, for example, predation or interactions with competitors.

50 Commonwealth of Australia (2013). Matters of National Environmental Significance. Significant impact guidelines 1.1. (Department of the Environment, Canberra.) 22

80. However, the habitat of Leadbeater’s possum is nuanced and dynamic. Mostly, preferred Leadbeater’s possum habitat components are large old hollow-bearing trees and a dense interconnected understorey (or secondary tree layer), with these two components coincident or in close juxtaposition. There are contrasting temporal relationships for the two components, with eucalypt trees typically not forming suitable hollows until they are at least 120 to 200 years old, but suitable understorey senescing at around 60-80 years after disturbance. These contrasting post- disturbance relationships mean that ‘mixed-age’ forests or landscapes with fine scale spatial heterogeneity may be most suitable. The amount and location of such juxtaposed habitat components will change gradually in the decades after disturbance, but may be subject to drastic landscape scale re-arrangements following wildfire. 81. The 2015 Conservation Advice does not explicitly define or list ‘critical habitat’ for Leadbeater’s possum, but rather details a set of ‘key habitat attributes’ that constitute ‘important habitat for the survival of the species’. These comprise: (i) hollow-bearing trees with large internal dimensions; (ii) occurring at sufficient density; (iii) predominance of smooth-barked or gum-barked eucalypts; (iv) mostly montane ash forests; (v) but also in subalpine woodlands and lowland swamp forest; (v) a structurally dense interlocking canopy or secondary tree layer of continuous or interconnecting structure; and (vii) a wattle understorey. The Conservation Advice further noted that ‘an optimum habitat is an uneven-aged ash forest with a dense understorey of wattle trees and a supply of hollow- bearing trees of between 4.2 and 10 per 3 ha.’ 82. I agree that the attributes aggregated in the 2015 Conservation Advice comprise the relevant components of critical habitat for Leadbeater’s possum. 83. The extent, connectivity and quality of critical habitat is declining and is likely to continue to decline. This trend has operated acutely in the past and will do so in the future because of episodes of severe wildfire. There is also chronic and ongoing decline in the extent, connectivity and quality of critical habitat because of past, current and projected timber harvesting operations. The attribute undergoing the most marked decline is the occurrence and abundance of large old (120+ years) hollow-bearing trees, which comprise a feature that is typically diminished by severe fire, timber-harvesting and (less so) other disturbance factors. Timber harvesting rotation periods that are shorter than the time required for trees in this system to develop large hollows, will ensure that the abundance and persistence of such trees will continue to decline into the future. Decline of such trees will also be more likely under climate change, as this is likely to lead to more severe drought and more severe fires in this system. 84. Conversely, other attributes of critical habitat, notably physical characteristics of the understorey, may be increasing in at least some areas because of the dense interconnected characteristics of regrowth vegetation that develops in the decades (ca. 10-60 years) after fire or timber harvesting. However, without the presence of suitable old trees and hollows, this component of critical habitat is likely to be insufficient to render habitat suitable for Leadbeater’s possum. 85. The EPBC Act allows for the definition and listing of habitat critical to the survival of a listed threatened species. However, no such habitat is registered for Leadbeater’s possum, perhaps in part because such formal listing confers little or no protective value unless the habitat occurs on Commonwealth lands (s207B, 207C), which is not the case for this species. Question 7. 86. “Please assume that forestry operations in the scheduled coupes will: (a) be conducted with the silviculture method and estimated nett harvest area set out for each coupe on the TRP (as shown in the Agreed Maps); (b) apply modelled slope and stream exclusions, SPZs and 200m buffers for

23

Leadbeater’s Possum, as shown in the Agreed Maps (3h); (c) at least 40 habitat trees per 10 hectares are retained, including all pre-1900 Mountain Ash, Alpine Ash and Shining Gum trees; (d) apply a 100m buffer around all stands of modelled old growth forest in Ash forest types, and verified to be Ash type forest (see Agreed Maps); (e) be conducted following a VicForests Leadbeater’s Possums survey similar to those recorded in the reports enclosed with our 12 December letter (for those coupes that have not yet had a survey, see index to VicForests Leadbeater’s Possum survey reports) and will apply 200m buffers to any Leadbeater’s Possum detections; (f) the management actions in the Action Statement and the further measures explained at paragraph 12(f) of our 12 December letter will be applied. Does this affect your answer to Q5 of our 12 December letter (to the extent any of the above was not considered in your answer to that question)?” 87. For the scheduled coupes I visited, I addressed the question of whether future harvesting would be likely to have a significant impact on Leadbeater’s possum in paragraphs 72 to 76 above. My answers there largely presupposed the set of constraints, regulations and actions detailed in Question 7. Although these measures provide some limited succour for populations of Leadbeater’s possum present in these areas, they provide inadequate assurance that these populations will be retained in a harvested landscape. Question 8. 88. “If forestry operations were to occur in the scheduled coupes by ‘Regrowth Retention Harvesting’ would this affect your answer to Q5? Please assume that ‘Regrowth Retention Harvesting’ is as described in paragraphs 152-154 of the Paul affidavit and WEP-33: VicForests Regrowth Retention Harvesting Instruction, Please assume that, in practice, this is the method of logging that was used at Rubicon logged coupes 288-516-0007 (Golden Snitch), 288-516-0006 (Hogsmeade), and 287-511- 0009 (Rocketman) (not coupe 287-511-0006 (Houston))”. 89. In theory, Regrowth Retention Harvesting may have less severe impacts on Leadbeater’s possum than clear fell harvesting or other conventional protocols, because it (i) may maintain a larger extent of habitat connectivity; and (ii) increases the likelihood of maintaining mixed-age forests – and hence both components of Leadbeater’s possum habitat: old trees and dense interconnected understorey.51. However, my brief inspections of these Rubicon coupes indicated that survival of the retained habitat was patchy (see Figure 2 above). Furthermore, if the amount of timber that was required to be extracted from the Central Highlands ash forests needed to be maintained at a constant level, then the reduced output per coupe associated with Regrowth Retention Harvesting may mean that a larger gross area of forest would need to be disturbed. Accordingly, I do not consider that Regrowth Retention Harvesting would meaningfully reduce the significance of the overall (or per coupe) impact of timber harvesting on Leadbeater’s possum.

Background

Significant impact and mitigation measures

9. Guidelines have been prepared by the Federal Environment Department which further explain significant impact under the EPBC Act, enclosed (Matters of National Environmental Significance Significant Impact Guidelines 1.1, the Guidelines). The Guidelines provide the following definition of significant impact at p2:

“an impact that is important, notable, or of consequence, having regard to its context or intensity. Whether or not an action is likely to have a significant impact depends upon the sensitivity, value, and quality of the environment which is impacted, and upon the intensity, duration, magnitude and geographic extent of the impacts.”

10. The Guidelines assist in interpreting the phrase “significant impact” but are not expressed to be exhaustive. Page 9 of the Guidelines provides that an action is likely to have a significant impact on a species in either the endangered or critically endangered categories, if there is a real chance or possibility that the action will:

(a) lead to a long-term decrease in the size of a population

(b) reduce the area of occupancy of the species

(c) fragment an existing population into two or more populations

(d) adversely affect habitat critical to the survival of a species

(e) disrupt the breeding cycle of a population

(f) modify, destroy, remove or isolate or decrease the availability or quality of habitat to the extent that the species is likely to decline

(2)

(g) result in invasive species that are harmful to an endangered or critically endangered species becoming established in the species’ habitat

(h) introduce disease that may cause the species to decline, or

(i) interfere with the recovery of the species.

11. When opining on “significant impact” you are encouraged to consider and refer to the outcomes above.

Significant impact and mitigation measures

12. Please consider the following management measures identified in paragraphs 106-109 and 116 of the Paul Affidavit:

(a) All Ash Eucalypts originating before 1900 must be retained in each coupe;

(b) At least 40 habitat trees per 10 ha will be retained on each coupe;

(c) Stream buffers and slope exclusions (see Agreed Maps (3h) enclosed);

(d) The gap between retained vegetation is not to be greater than 150m;

(e) All modelled old growth forest in Ash type forest is excluded with a 100m buffer;

(f) Large Tree protection is as follows:

i. “large tree” is defined as a living tree of any species that has a diameter at breast height (1 .3 m) overbark (DBHOB) equal to or greater than 2.5 m. DBHOB must be measured using diameter tape on the up-slope of the tree.

ii. Large trees are to be protected from the direct impacts of timber harvesting and regeneration burning, including by ensuring that slash and bark accumulation is cleared from within 3 m of the base of retained trees.

iii. The location of large trees identified within the coupe must be marked with a GPS and recorded on the Forest Coupe Plan.

iv. Where practicable, large trees are to be incorporated into retained patches or within expanded exclusion areas.

v. Where there is no practicable alternative, the construction of roading and snig tracks through retained large tree patches or expanded exclusion areas is acceptable, providing that the large trees as defined above are retained and harvesting slash created during snigging or road construction is removed from the patch to minimise fire risk

vi. Large trees may only be removed where a risk assessment determines they present a safety risk to persons working in the coupe or members of the public. The risk assessment must be documented and demonstrate that all reasonable

(3)

alternatives to removal of the tree were appropriately considered (the management measures)

13. Please read paragraphs 137-139 of the enclosed Paul Affidavit which depose to the fact that you authored an independent review of the DELWP review of the effectiveness of the 200m buffers (the DELWP review is WEP-29, enclosed). For ease of reference, please find enclosed a copy of your review.

14. Please read pages 13-20 of the Leadbeater’s Possum Action Statement, and page 13 of the Conservation Advice, which includes commentary about the measures set out in the Action Statement that are intended to conserve and manage Leadbeater’s Possum. Please assume that the reference in the Action Statement to “retention harvesting” on page 18 is a reference to the “Regrowth Retention Harvesting” method referred to at paragraphs 153- 156 of the Paul Affidavit and further explained in WEP-33 (enclosed).

Regrowth retention harvesting

15. If your answers deal with “Regrowth Retention Harvesting” please refer to the description in paragraphs 152-154 of the enclosed Paul affidavit. Please assume that is the method of logging that was used at the coupes in paragraph 17(c) below.

Likelihood

16. The questions below ask whether or not something is “likely”. For the purposes of your report, please assume that “likely” means a real or not remote chance or possibility. It does not require a greater than 50% chance of happening (see p3 of the enclosed Guidelines).

Site inspection and impacts at Coupes subject of proceeding

17. The coupes subject of the proceeding and relevant to Leadbeater’s Possum appear in the Further Amended Statement of Claim at [22]-[29C] for “logged coupes” and [42]-[70B] for “scheduled coupes”. Given the large number of coupes we suggest you perform site inspections of the coupes below:

(a) Ada Tree coupes: logged coupe 348-506-0003 (Blue Vein) and scheduled coupe 344- 509-0007 (Blue Cat);

(b) New Turkey Spur coupes: logged coupe 348-515-0004 (Greendale) and scheduled coupe 348-504-0005 (Gallipoli);

18. In answering the following questions, please ensure that you identify all material that you have relied upon and provide references to that material. Please also identify any scientific uncertainty regarding any answer you provide.

19. All references in the following questions to ‘paragraphs above’ refer to numbered paragraphs 9 to 17 in the section, Background.

Questions

Species description, threats and impacts

Q1. Do you agree with the description of Leadbeater’s Possum species, its distribution, relevant biology/ecology (including habitat), and threats on pages 1-7 of the enclosed Leadbeaters’ Possum Conservation Advice? Is there anything you would like to add? Please describe the severity of the impact of forestry operations on populations of Leadbeaters’ Possums, both at present and on future populations.

Q2. In your opinion, is there a high degree of certainty that taken together, the management actions in the Action Statement, the current reserve system (or area unavailable for logging identified at paragraph 127 of the Paul Affidavit), and the application of the management measures at paragraph 12 above, will ensure that there is no real chance or possibility that forestry operations in the Central Highlands will not have a significant impact on Leadbeater’s Possum?

Site inspection and impacts at “logged coupes” subject of proceeding

Q3. On the basis of your site inspections and any information you consider relevant, please provide your opinion, for each coupe of coupe group, on whether or not the forestry operations have had, are having or likely to have a significant impact on the Leadbeater’s Possum.

Q4. For the coupes in paragraphs 17(c), 17(d) and 17(f) above please confirm whether or not there is a 20 metre vegetation buffer to screen timber harvesting operations and new road alignments from view. If not, please describe your observations.

(5)

Site inspection and impacts at “scheduled coupes” subject of proceeding

Q5. On the basis of your site inspections and any information you consider relevant, please provide your opinion, for each coupe of coupe group, on whether or not forestry operations for the scheduled coupes undertaken in a similar manner as the logged coupes are likely to have a significant impact on the Leadbeater’s Possum.

Please contact me if you require any further assistance or information for the preparation of your report. We would be grateful if you could advise the date that you will provide your report, but in any event provide a final version on or before 18 January 2019.

Dear Professor Woinarski

Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum Inc v VicForests: Federal Court of Australia proceeding VID1228/2017

We refer to our letter of instructions dated 12 December 2018. If it is possible, we would be very grateful if you are able to answer these three additional questions in your report:

Q6: What is habitat critical to the survival of Leadbeater’s Possum and is the extent and quality of that habitat increasing or declining?

Q7: Please assume that forestry operations in the scheduled coupes will:

(a) be conducted with the silviculture method and estimated nett harvest area set out for each coupe on the TRP (as shown in the Agreed Maps);

(b) apply modelled slope and stream exclusions, SPZs and 200m buffers for Leadbeater’s Possum, as shown in the Agreed Maps (3h);

(c) at least 40 habitat trees per 10 hectares will be retained, including all pre-1900 Mountain Ash, Alpine Ash and Shining Gum trees;

(d) apply a 100m buffer around all stands of modelled old growth forest in Ash forest types, and verified to be Ash type forest (see Agreed Maps);

(e) be conducted following a VicForests Leadbeater’s Possums survey similar to those recorded in the reports enclosed with our 12 December letter (for those coupes that have not yet had such a survey, see index to VicForests Leadbeater’s Possum survey reports) and will apply 200m buffers to any Leadbeater’s Possum detections;

(f) the management actions in the Action Statement and the further measures explained at paragraph 12(f) of our 12 December letter will be applied.

Does this effect your answer to Q5 of our 12 December letter (to the extent any of the above was not considered in your answer to that question)?

Environmental PO Box 12123 T (03) 8341 3100 Justice Australia A'Beckett Street PO F (03) 8341 3111 ABN 74052124375 Melbourne VIC 8006 E [email protected] L3, 60 Leicester St, Carlton W www.envirojustice.org.au

Q8: If forestry operations were to occur in the scheduled coupes by ‘Regrowth Retention Harvesting’ would this affect your answer to Q5? Please assume that ‘Regrowth Retention Harvesting’ is as described in paragraphs 152-154 of the Paul affidavit and WEP-33: VicForests Regrowth Retention Harvesting Instruction. Please assume that, in practice, this is the method of logging that was used at Rubicon logged coupes 288-516-0007 (Golden Snitch), 288-516- 0006 (Hogsmeade), and 287-511-0009 (Rocketman) (not coupe 287-511-0006 (Houston)).

We also refer to:

(a) Q2 of our 12 December letter. The word “not” in the fifth line of that question should be removed.

(b) Q3 and Q5 of our 12 December letter. The phrase ‘for each coupe of coupe group’ should read ‘coupe or coupe group’.

Yours sincerely
