Although this is about Tasmania, I thought it might attract more attention here... which is needed! I do wonder how come that it is allowed - politics?, money? -, but if I can help by signing a petition, I will 
Australia's island state of Tasmania is home to unique ecosystems that contain some of the Earth's most incredible plants and animals. Yet one lumber company, Gunns Limited, is rapidly destroying its 400 year old trees, polluting its streams, and killing off its wildlife, including protected or threatened species. Tell Gunns Ltd. to stop its destruction of Tasmanian forests and wildlife!
Despite global protests, Gunns Ltd. is clear-cutting the world's tallest hardwood trees and ancient old-growth forests in the most despicable ways imaginable. This company is responsible for:
- clearcutting roughly 44 football fields of pristine forests everyday
- destroying 400 year old trees
- firebombing the clear-cut land with napalm, incinerating wildlife habitat
- poisoning hundreds of thousands of the surviving wildlife with 1080, a toxin banned in many countries

In the words of superstar Olivia Newton-John, "Where once awesome trees formed pillars of a dense and vibrant forest ecosystem, what remains are barren landscapes reminiscent of a devastated battlefield. And there’s much more to come if we don’t put a stop to it."
