Save Tasmania's Forests!
Target: John Gay, CEO, Gunns LimitedSponsored by: Rainforest Action Network
Australia's island state of Tasmania is home to unique ecosystems that
contain some of the Earth's most incredible plants and animals,
including the world's tallest hardwood trees and ancient old-growth
forests.
Tragically, these global treasures are being destroyed by the logging company GUNNS LIMITED. Gunns cuts down more than 40 football fields of pristine old-growth forests everyday, then firebombs the clear-cut land with napalm, and poisons the surviving wildlife with 1080, a toxin banned in many countries. Streams are polluted, 400 year old trees destroyed, habitats incinerated, and threatened species killed.
Please join us now in the fight to save Tasmania's incredible
forests:
TELL GUNNS LTD. TO STOP ITS DESTRUCTION OF TASMANIAN FORESTS AND WILDLIFE!

Anyone with half a brain can see that this destruction is to the detriment of all life on Earth. The Tasmanian government is blatantly corrupt in their dealings with Gunn's and their managment of their forests

Deforestation contributes 18% of total annual greenhouse emmissions (Stern Report)and threatens wildlife to extinction . Are these 2 reasons alone not enough to protect the world's forests?

This is a worldwide treasure and no one group has the right to take it away from us for their own gain.

There are plenty of other options other than destroying more old-growth forests. I support sustainable timber harvesting!

The remaining rainforest is now so precious globally that it is not your by rights, it is all of humanity's. Stop the logging for your grandchildrens' sakes.
