ET is looking for a highly motivated, hard-working and experienced candidate to take on the role of policy coordinator. The policy coordinator will provide a broad role in the coordination of the development, implementation and advocacy of Environment Tasmania’s policies on environmental and conservation issues.
The Forest Industries Association of Tasmania campaign launched today is designed to block Tasmanians’ desire for protection of Tasmania’s native forests (as evidenced by recent opinion polls*) by hiding the truth about native forest logging and export wood-chipping, said Environment Tasmania today.
News revealed today that forestry toxins are contaminating river and drinking water catchments in North-East Tasmania are more proof of politicians’ failure to properly regulate forestry, says Environment Tasmania.
The conservation group said the revelations are worth a dedicated leaders’ debate in the election.
Tasmanian environment groups says Forestry Tasmania’s new speciality timber plan is a smokescreen for the ongoing destruction of some of Tasmania’s most celebrated ancient forests. These include the Tarkine, Upper Florentine valley and the Styx, places that should be permanently protected as national parks.
