Subject: Stop Clearcutting of Ancient Trees in Tasmania!
Australia's island state of Tasmania is home to unique ecosystems that contain some of the Earth's most incredible plants and animals. Yet one lumber company, Gunns Limited, is rapidly destroying its 400 year old trees, polluting its streams, and killing off its wildlife, including protected or threatened species. Tell Gunns Ltd. to stop its destruction of Tasmanian forests and wildlife! Despite global protests, Gunns Ltd. is clear-cutting the world's tallest hardwood trees and ancient old-growth forests in the most despicable ways imaginable. This company is responsible for:
In the words of superstar Olivia Newton-John, "Where once awesome trees formed pillars of a dense and vibrant forest ecosystem, what remains are barren landscapes reminiscent of a devastated battlefield. And there’s much more to come if we don’t put a stop to it." "What Tasmania has now is a natural wonder. And what we’ve already lost to unmitigated corporate greed cannot be replaced in our lifetime ... or our children’s. Please, help put an end to Gunns’ profit-driven destruction of our natural wonders, our natural legacy."  With gratitude, Robyn E.
