The logging of jarrah and marri trees in the Mowen Forest will affect threatened animal species such as the Forest Red-Tailed Black Cockatoo, Baudin's Cockatoo, Brush-tailed Phascogale, Orange-bellied Frog and the Quokka. In 2015 our group raised $110,000 in pledges to buy Mowen Forest from the State Government. A cheque was offered to the Premier but he declined to accept it. We also raised more than $10,000 in funds to support protestors who faced fines after participating in non- violent direct action. + visit the Save the Mowen Forest camp.

The Water Corporation planned to tap 45 gigalitres of water from the south-west Yarragadee aquifer due to Perth's depleted and decreasing water resources. MRREC members and local community played a huge role in getting this successful campaign running. The peak event of the campaign was a huge rally outside Western Australia's parliament house.

LEAN also believes the EPBC is broken. Even without this capitulation to the states, the EPBC is not delivering the protection nature deserves. LEAN is calling for Labor to rethink our approach to nature protection and redesign the legislative and regulatory framework to ensure nature has a fair chance in this fair land of ours.
