Tasmania: "An incomprehensible ecological tragedy"

The approval of the pulping of 3 million tonnes of trees, mostly "old growth" trees / year by Gunns Ltd in Tasmania Australia. Plans to complete pulp mill in 2 years.

Go vegan. It's better for you, for the planet, and, most importantly, it's the morally right thing to do.

In Tasmania, over 85% of old growth regnans forests have been logged. Tasmanian Ash trees are the tallest trees in the world, growing to 400 ft. The trees continue to be clearfell logged by Gunns, a major forestry enterprise.

This is awful! It's such a shame for are world to be treating mother nature and the animals in such regard. We need to make a stand before it's to late.

The time is now to do something.

What a great loss. There is no respect for nature left whatsoever (anywhere). And those who care are not in the power to do anything against atrosities such as this one, except if we all unite. We do need to make a stand before it's to late.....

I think Mr Gunn needs ot be put on' final notice' that if any of our children or grandchildren are affected , he might have trouble enjoying his ill gotten, sorry old age. ........

I do have a question after having seen this vid a couple of times( and passing it along to people who care)...

Why are there poppies in this vid? does Tasmanias govt want to be a producer of opium? or heroin? or morphine? they better focus on hemp!!

jUST WHITE MAN COMING IN AND FKING THINGS UP AS USUAL..It's so fken sad..These forests grow for perhaps millions of years,,and then a few generations of so called intelligent human beings cut it all down and then fken burn whats left!!! If it's gonna be cut down, u don't then have to fken burn,,let the forest regrow FFS FFS FFS

We live in a time of total madness. Nothing makes any sense. Humans have become a plague on this earth, like a pack of thugs on a drunken rampage. Companies like Gunns are greed incarnate. This is as moraly defensible mugging your own mother and stealing her handbag!

Peter Garrett was the biggest mistake for the Austalian Government.

Not many like him over here..

[OneAnnoyedVegan]

All the life gone to waste! All the animals that will lose their homes... tragic indeed.

[MELAANINJAA]

This is tragic?

Does "gunn" think that money will keep him alive in the long run, that he can just throw money at global warming at it will leave him alone, take a turn adn avoid him?

If he does than he is surley mistaken.
