'Rise up': monks urge WA towns to fight minerals exploration in vulnerable Jarrah forests
After seeing off a bid to explore near the Bodhinyana monastery, the forest monks are encouraging others to 'keep the pressure on'
Buddhist monks who have sought enlightenment in a globally unique forest in Western Australia are standing defiant after fighting off an attempt to explore their area for minerals.
Conservationists say the northern Jarrah forest in the state's south-west, already under pressure from climate change, is the target of several mining companies looking to explore for minerals needed for the clean energy transition.
Now the forest monks of the Bodhinyana monastery, south of Perth, are encouraging other communities to "rise up" and object to the wave of applications.
