Ta Ann v Swift Parrot …?

Tasmania’s outstanding native forests and their threatened species remain at risk of continued industrial scale destruction, despite the passage of new forest legislation in the Tasmanian Parliament.

An exemption will allow 42 separate logging operations in designated new reserves.

Controversially, Ta Ann will continue to receive wood from forests such as the future South Bruny Island National Park.

The endangered swift parrot relies on these forests.

In association with Spirit of Bruny and Markets for Change, we have made a new film and launched a new online petition to the Japanese customers of Ta Ann.

Imxly, in Comments: Spirit of Bruny welcomes this change in FT’s intentions, which indicates a willingness on the part of FT to fulfil its obligation not to log coupes in future reserve land where an alternative can be found.
