Urgent last-minute appeal: Save Chalumbin from the wind development!

Why is the Chalumbin worthy of becoming a National Park? 

Chalumbin is one of Queensland’s last remaining truly wild places.

Bordering the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, Chalumbin is a vast remote region full of diverse remnant forests. The high mountainous ridgelines, set to be blasted benched for 86  wind turbines, are remote and inaccessible - a safe haven for nature.  

This ancient, untouched wilderness is full of critically endangered  species such as the Masked Owl, the Greater Glider and the Magnificent  Broodfrog. Extremely rare Northern Koalas have been spotted nearby and likely live here too! 

The proposed 86 wind turbine Chalumbin industrial wind development would  destroy, fragment and blast precious flora and fauna, kill wildlife, and  introduce weeds and predators to intact wilderness and complex functioning ecosystems. No offsets can replace this! 

Nothing can justify the destruction of Chalumbin, a carbon sink that is host to endless biodiversity and likely undiscovered species.

Chalumbin  is a place of profound meaning to the Jirrbal community. 

Here are massacre sites, contact sites and Ancestors. Destroying Chalumbin will  erode Jirrbal's connection with their own land, their stories, their  history and culturally significant places. The profound cultural  significance of Chalumbin requires it be conserved intact for all  generations to come. It's appalling that a wind development here in this  sacred  place even be considered.

Please give to save Chalumbin, knowing your generosity is so very appreciated, by the wildlife of Chalumbin that cannot speak and the community of Ravenshoe, the mums, the dads, the children that love Chalumbin wilderness and want it saved from industrialization.

There is NO social license for  the Chalumbin wind development. 

Over 700 submissions opposing the wind development were recently submitted during the Public Environment period. Much research and work was devoted to Chalumbin by scientists, ecologists, conservationists, Traditional Custodians and community members to share how important it is that Chalumbin remains intact.

ABOUT  US: We're grassroots conservationists based in FNQ who've campaigned  for over 2 years to stop the Chalumbin wind development from proceeding on the Atherton Tablelands, Far North Queensland.
