styx river

This morning, community activists halted the logging of old growth forests near the headwaters of the Styx River. Ten activists have peacefully occupied coupe TN47C, located 100 metres from the TWWHA boundary near the base of Mount Mueller to highlight the continued destruction of Tasmania's unique old growth forests.

"Tasmania is in a state of environmental emergency. Every single day, our island's unique old growth forests are felled, bulldozed and trucked off to the woodchipper. Gunns Ltd.'s stranglehold on the Lennon government has been highlighted again this week and once again it will be our precious carbon rich forests, the taxpayer and the community that will suffer as a result of yet another matey deal between climate criminals John Gay, Bob Gordon and Paul Lennon" said Still Wild Still Threatened spokesperson Ula Majewski.
