Veganius's video: Australie : Tasmanie deforestation 1 2 Tasmania on Fire - Yann Arthus Bertrand

@Australie : Tasmanie deforestation 1/2 Tasmania on Fire - Yann Arthus Bertrand
Au large de l'Australie, la Tasmanie abrite encore de magnifiques forêts primaires, une biodiversité exceptionnelle et des arbres parmi les plus grands et les plus âgés de la planète. Pourtant, chaque jour, l'équivalent de 44 terrains de football disparaissent en fumée : les arbres gigantesques sont abattus puis des hélicoptères lancent des bombes de napalm pour incendier les arbres restants et les souches. Une fois le sol nettoyé, des arbres exotiques à croissance rapide sont replantés. Pour empêcher les animaux de venir manger ces jeunes plants, un poison neurotoxique très puissant est répandu : des espèces en danger comme le diable de Tasmanie meurent dans de grandes souffrances. Il ne reste rien de la biodiversité originelle. Afin de "verdir" les bois issus de ce carnage écologique, les industriels locaux ont eu lidée de créer un éco-label sans aucun soutien des associations de protection de lenvironnement locales... qui dénoncent ces pratiques scandaleuses depuis des années. Puis, ils ont demandé à léco-label PEFC la "reconnaissance mutuelle". Lobjectif ? Gagner en visibilité et en crédibilité, en commercialisant ces bois sous le label PEFC qui est beaucoup plus reconnu en Europe et... PEFC a accepté ! http://www.amisdelaterre.org/L-incroyable-certification-la.html "The situation in Tasmania is absolutely horrific for anyone with an environmental conscience. Swathes of beautiful, old-growth hardwood forest and temperate rainforest are being clear felled and fire bombed from the air only to be replaced by monoculture plantations with all the biodiversity of a car park. To make matters worse, logging companies then lay down a ghastly poison called 1080 which causes a slow and painful death for any remaining wildlife such as wallabies, wombats and possums. "The deforestation in Tasmania is destroying one of the world's most pristine eco-systems and endangering rare species such as the wedge-tailed eagle and the Eastern Pygmy Possum. This kind of disastrous environmental practice is absolutely unacceptable in any country, let alone one as responsible and civilized as Australia. Unfortunately, the logging industry in Tasmania is so powerful that the state appears unable or unwilling to take any action, while the federal government in Canberra prefers to turn a blind eye. This is why I am flying out, on a carbon neutral visit, to help the Wilderness Society's attempts to put an end to this madness and preserve the forests for generations to come."
