Before logging began, VicForests claimed its surveyors had found no protected species in the area. In an emergency response, a team of local citizen scientists accessed the area and surveyed it for protected species, already discovering the endangered Orbost Spiny Cray Fish and the Sooty Owl.

It appears that a conflict of interest is stopping the Environment Department from regulating the government-owned logging company: VicForests.
