The fact notorious illegal loggers Samling of Malaysia; who have devastated

rainforests globally including those of the Penan, are surreptitiously in

contention for Liberian logging contracts illustrates, despite decades of failed

reform efforts locally and internationally, that the global industrial tropical

timber logging industry remains irredeemably corrupt. There is no evidence first

time industrial logging of primary forests is ever ecologically sustainable or

reduces poverty. Please call upon Liberian President to pursue development based

upon standing rainforests, and reject entirely the resumption of industrial

logging.

 

NOTE: After sending this protest you are forwarded to several crucial ongoing

alerts, which we ask you to please send as well.
