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!

My cousin and her son are protesting down in Hobart. It is disgusting the way these forests are being destroyed.

Logging like this must stop. We need trees to help reverse climate change. Stop before it's too late.

Gunns are a violent, destructive organisation who have become the de facto government of Tasmania. They are environmental terrorists. They destroy ancient forests using practices banned in the rest of Australia and seen only in developing countries. Old growth forests are clearfelled and fire-bombed from the air with petrochemicals. Grazing animals are then poisoned with carrots laced with 1080 poison. They have to be stopped.

I would have thought that biodiversity developed over millions of years and the fundamental rights of plants and animals to live within their environment is far more important than company profits.

I personally visited old growth forests in Tasmania. They are truly beautiful, and that they are being cut down and destroyed is a heartbreak. Stop cutting the forests so that future generations can appreciate their magnificent beauty.

I live in Tasmania, and am able to see first hand the devistation Gunns cause. Even in the heart of the capital city where I live you find evidence of their slash and burn practices, as the smoke from when they've been been burning off sections of forest, causes a haze of smog to settle over the usually clear city. It smells, and is harmful for people to breath in. Their blatent disregard for nature, and for the health and well-being of the people of Tasmania is astounding.
