Tazmanian Forest...

Clearfelling/destruction of Tazmanian Old-Growth Forests...

Target:
Stop destroying Tazmania's Native Old-Growth Forests now!
Sponsored by: 
     Tazmania is clearfelling its native, old-growth forests at an
     astonishing rate and this continued destruction is affecting so
     much as a result. The true story of Tazmania's logging Industry
     is both devistating and unbelievable! Protected species are NOT
     being protected as forests are totally eradicated; complete
     felling of the area followed by the dropping of napalm means no
     life can continue to survive. The Government is
     allowing this, both through political corruption and continued
     funding (bribery) by the logging Industries, to happen.

     I feel that only international involvement will stop the
     continued devastation. If WE do nothing, the Loggers have total
     freedom to fell the Forests for the next 20 years, in which
     time, there will be nothing left.

     The enviroment is at a fragile state due to human activity and
     with Climate Change a major issue, no one, on no account,
     should be burning the World's last remaining (Old-Growth)
     forests...

     Tazmanian logging causes economies to fail (for many reasons)  and quality of life for the general public is decreasing. The 'classic'
     Tazmanian image of lush forest wilderness will be gone if
     we do not act NOW...

Many people disagree with the total destruction of Tazmania's Old-Growth forests; this habitat (which is being clearfelled and naparmed) provides refuge for many endangered species of animals and plants. It is precious. It should not be destroyed! The pollution produced by various logging processes is also terrible. Stop clearfelling and the outcome will be benefitial for so many...

Nature is humanities silent victim, big industries distroy the worlds most important assets for money.. I guess they will be happy to breathe money when all the oxygen is gone.

Trees inhale our eco-damaging CO2 and exhale our life's oxygen. We need at least 10 times as many trees as we now have to counter our current carbon emmissions, esp since the polutted oceans aren't able to assist as well as they have in the past.

Has the Tazmanian government learnt nothing about the importance of native forests to biodiversity and the health of the planet? Shame!!

First of all....STOP BEING GREEDY!! Next, are you aware that our planet is in trouble? Trees and old growth forests are essential to keeping the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Also wildlife is being displaced and you are going to make these animals extinct. Get a grip on reality. This planet needs all the help we can get and your actions are counterproductive to a healthy planet.
