New logging rules (Integrated Forestry Operations Approval - IFOA) drastically weaken and remove numerous protections for NSW's threatened species.

This work focuses on the loss of those protections and the resulting loss of habitat for the endangered Purple Spotted Gudgeon which lives in the streams of the Gladstone State Forest near Bellingen. To realise the concept I collected offending mud and silt from a stream in this forest and incorporated former legislation, redacted.
