Overseas companies targeted for their importing of Australian timber
products and their investment in Australian logging practices
On Earth Matters today we hear from Tim Cadman of the Native Forest Network
in Tasmania about his recent trip to North America. Firstly Tim tells us
about his visit to see Julia Butterfly Hill (people may remember hearing
Julia on Earth Matters some months back!) who has been in a tree sit in a
huge Redwood for well over 500 days now in northern California.
Tim's trip also focused on his ongoing work to stop unsustainable native
forest logging practices. Tim outlines the increasing number of countries
and companies that are refusing Australian timber products, especially
those sourced from the southern forests of Western Australia. Tim has also
been targeting companies investing in Australian native forest logging such
as GMO Resources' investment in Tasmania and Hancock Resources in Victoria.
Ecopoli - ACF's mass letter lobbying of politicians
It's said that 1 letter to a politician represents 100 voters in the mind
of receiver. Consequently letter writer is seen as a necessary and
effective lobbying tool. The Australian Conservation Foundation has a
network of organised information kits and letter writing directions as part
of its "Ecopoli" initiative. Today we hear from Kellee Nolan from the ACF
about the campaign, and the most recent "Ecopoli" on the radioactive waste
dump proposal in South Australia.
