Australia is systematically destroying forests and reducing the world’s ability to resist climate change. What happens there will affect us all.

Save Tasmania’s Wild Forests - Forests are the Worlds’s Lungs
Protest in London, Saturday 13 October 2007 12noon at the Australian High Commission, Strand, London WC2B 4LA

Let Australia know the world is watching its planned new pulp mill.
This Tasmanian “World’s best practice” plant will:
• Consume 6 million tons of ancient old growth forest annually.
• Emit 10 million tons of CO2 a year and discharge 64,000 tons of toxic effluent into the sea, every day.

In Australia it is illegal to kill endangered species, yet this practice continues within forestry without fear of prosecution.
Tasmania only has 13% of its old growth forest left.
Licences have already been issued to reduce this to 6%.

Where to meet: 12noon at the Australian High Commission, Strand, London WC2B 4LA. (Nearest Tube: Temple)
