Destruction of Australia's ancient forests in Tasmania is occuring 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, producing more than 30% of Tasmania's annual greenhouse gas emissions
PEFC is a global organisation that certifies forestry schemes and the products from them as environmentally sustainable. PEFC approves Tasmanian forest products as sustainable and endorses Australia's forestry practices, including those in Tasmania, where Gunns Ltd woodchips thousands of hectares of native forest every year.
