FOREST DEFENDER LOCKS ONTO AN EXCAVATOR AS ACTIVISTS ANNOUNCE EVEN BIGGER FOREST RALLY THIS SATURDAY
Early this morning, a forest activist locked onto an excavator in the Upper Florentine Valley to protest against Forestry Tasmania's roading operations in the area. Four tree sitters continue their 8 day vigil high in the canopy of the old growth forests located in the valley.
Still Wild Still Threatened has announced another community rally in the Upper Florentine Valley, which will take place this Saturday at 11am.
"We are absolutely thrilled with the hundreds of Tasmanians who travelled to the Upper Florentine Valley yesterday to stand up against the continued destruction of our precious old growth forests. The community is not going to idly stand by and watch their forests being annihilated in the interests of woodchipping barons Gunns Limited" said Ula Majewski, Still Wild Still Threatened spokesperson and Triabunna 13 defendant.
"Our community is sending a very clear message to the Tasmanian and Australian Governments that the destruction of these globally significant forests needs to be halted immediately" said Ula Majewski.
