Thank Gunns for Promising to End Tasmanian Native Forest Logging, Urge to Set Date; and Ask Australia to End Primary Forest Logging Now

Announcement by Gunns Ltd. pulp and logging company of Tasmania, Australia that they will discontinue their involvement with primary native forest logging in Tasmania is wonderful progress. Yet Gunns must have no illusions that a paper and pulp mill industry based upon toxic chlorine-bleaching, plantation monocrops and ocean dumping will be acceptable. If Gunns does in fact keep and implement its promise (a big if, given their record), a global precedent has been set that old-growth native forest logging is finished. The new Australia government must follow-up by announcing an end to all primary and old growth native forest logging, and to promote forest and job ecological plantation and restoration areas.

P.S. There are two protest emails to be sent on this Australian protest. You will be forwarded to two further crucial and on-going alerts, and then asked to follow EI’s Eco-Newsfeed on Facebook.
