If protesting and lobbing the government won’t work, then perhaps its time to buy change.
I was just listen to 2SER and the presenter mentioned that the Tasmania ‘old-growth regnans forests’ are being logged at something like 40 football fields a day. Mainly for wood chip it would seem. Richard Flanagan seems to indicate that “the logging industry’s astonishing exemption from the Freedom of Information Act…”. Seems that all political avenues have been taken. Protesting doesn’t seem to slow the loggers down much ether.
The current conservative government isn’t going to do much to change the situation as they don’t care about the environment. Perhaps a change of tact is required. An organization could be set-up to acquire logging companies and enforce more environmentally sound practices. Logging can be done in a manor that is profitable and minimises environmental impact.
Funds could be acquired via the usual means of venture capital encouraging people not to donate money but invest. Perhaps capital could be borrowed and returned with a minimum return before the loan is considered repaid. The companies could then be donated to Green Peace or profits used to buy other environmental management investments.
