Reminiscent of the struggle in the United States to save the last old growth redwood forests {redwoods}, activists in Tasmania are fighting logging companies cuttting old growth forests. One of these, Miranda Gibson, is in the eighth month of her Australian record breaking sit-in in a four hundred year old tree. She and other activists of Still Wild, Still Threatened are campaigning to get the Tasmanian government to protect an old growth forest remnant from cutting by a Malaysian company that markets it's veneer product as sustainable plantation and regrowth wood. You can follow Miranda on her blog and show support by sending a message to the logging company, Ta Ann. Via Green Left:
