Hi ACF Supporters
Right now, ACF needs your support to put a stop to a disturbing new chapter in the ongoing fight to save the Tasmanian wilderness.
In Tasmanian old growth forests, trees too big to be sawn are being demolished with explosives. 500-year old trees are literally blown up in a second. Then, after clearing the site, to remove native wildlife from the plantation area carrots are distributed. Once the starving animals start to enjoy this sweet new treat it is then laced with 1080 - a deadly poison that attacks the nervous system and kills animals slowly. The recovering flora is destroyed using herbicides.
This month on the ACF website we have an in-depth look at the destruction of forests in Tasmania, and explain what you can do to help. Plus, there's the debate on the US-Australia Free Trade Agreement, and much more.
