Destruction of Australia's ancient forests in Tasmania is occurring on an industrial scale at an unrelenting rate, and is sanctioned by the Tasmanian Government and certified internationally by PEFC as sustainable!

Tasmania's unsustainable forestry practices include:

• poisoning wildlife - tens of thousands of animals die from 1080 poison yearly
• mass conversion of forest to short rotation plantations
• fire bombing forest with napalm incendiaries, producing more than 30% of Tasmania's annual greenhouse gas emissions

This is all true, and I fail to understand why is seems to be a surprise to the Wilderness Society. But what do they do about it? What do they think is action against it? They start a letter campaign.

Are the Wilderness Society serious about stopping the destruction of wild forests, or are they really only interested in making money from the destruction? The more destruction, the more they can use that to get people to give them money to stop it.

I wonder if there are people on the ground in the forests that are being destroyed, sabotaging the machines that are used for the destruction? That seems to be a far more direct, and effective way of stopping the killing of living trees. Make it cost them more to keep cutting trees, than they get from selling the corpses of trees. That at least would be a real fight for the forest.
