FOREST CONSERVATION ACTION ALERT
Wake Up Weyerhaeuser: Protect Forests Now!

TAKE ACTION @ the Rainforest Action Network:
Wake up Weyerhaeuser by expressing your opposition to destructive 
logging   
http://forests.org/emailaction/Weyerhaeuser.htm

The Rainforest Action Network has launched an international 
campaign to transform logging giant Weyerhaeuser's environmental 
polices, described as "the number one destroyer of old-growth 
forests in North America".  This follows close upon RAN et al's 
recent successes in getting Boise Cascade Corporation to withdraw 
from old-growth forests in the United States and adopt a plan to 
exit endangered forests worldwide.  Weyerhaeuser still logs in 
Canada's primary forests and imports products from around the 
world that come from primary and other endangered forests.  
Forests.org joins RAN in calling for a complete, immediate and 
absolute moratorium on logging in so-called first-growth forests, 
forestland that has never been commercially logged.  More 
information on RAN's "Wake Up Weyerhauser" campaign can be found 
at http://www.ran.org/ran_campaigns/old_growth/wakeup/
