HABITAT
I'm sure many of you are already active members of
GetUp AND All of us are deeply concerned about the state of Australia's
habitats and ecosystems.
Wouldn't we like to see an
end to the clearing of native vegetation & to the decimation of forests'
oldest trees?
GetUp is offering us a chance to sign a simple
email-petition to demand new "Forestry Principles" for Australian forests and
those who have depended on them for their livelihoods.
And please forward this
petition-opportunity to your societies, networks, friends,
family.
The reasoning behind GetUp's action is explained on
their website & the urgency results from the window-of-opportunity presented
by changes to Gunns' Board of Directors.
(The most recent GetUp petition about including
mental health in reforms to Australia's health system generated an
unprecedented 85,000 signatures. Let's do the same for our forests,
their carbon storage and unique wildlife!)
Thank you......signing-up won't take long......a
future without tree-hollows isn't to be contemplated.
