RAINFOREST ALERT: Liberia's Plans to Resume Industrial Primary Rainforest Logging Already Plagued by Corruption

ACTION ALERT PLEASE SHARE WIDELY!Liberia's Plans to Resume Industrial Primary Rainforest Logging Already Plagued by Corruption as Samling Poised to PounceBy Rainforest Rescue, http://www.rainforest-rescue.org/ with Ecological Internet's Rainforest Portal, http://www.rainforestportal.org/ August 18, 2009TAKE ACTION HERE NOW:http://www.rainforestportal.org/shared/alerts/send.aspx?id=liberia_logging_resumeThe 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.
