Help Protect Tasmania's Ancient Forests
The campaign to protect Tasmania's ancient forests is at a tipping point, and we need your help to stop Gunns Limited's destructive pulp mill project!
Knowing that their pulp mill would never meet environmental standards and under intense pressure from RAN and our NGO allies in Australia, Gunns recently withdrew its proposed pulp mill project from Tasmania's independent assessment process (the RPDC). Gunns is now seeking to bypass all legal requirements by fast-tracking the pulp mill through the Tasmania parliament.
The unprecedented move has sparked massive protests and been decried as "cronyism and corruption" in the Australian media. If Gunns succeeds in its attempt to force the pulp mill through outside the legal process, it could get approval for the destructive project in weeks. If, however, public outrage is strong enough to defeat this shameful ploy, the Gunns pulp mill project may finally be abandoned once and for all!You can make a real difference in the battle for the future of Tasmania's forests in two important ways:
Pressure Gunns' Banker: Now is perfect time to escalate pressure on ANZ, the bank that is planning to finance the pulp mill project. With your help, we have been pressuring ANZ to develop a new forests policy that RAN had hoped would block investment in Gunns' pulp mill.
Unfortunately, we believe ANZ has bowed to industry pressure and failed to adopt meaningful environmental standards. ANZ is now asking for public comments on this policy, and RAN hopes you will take them up on their offer!

Pressure Australia's Environmental Minister
Join the Australian Wilderness Society in pressuring Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull not to approve a pulp mill that will destroy Tasmania's forests and pollute the air and water.

With your support, RAN and our allies in Australia are helping to save Tasmania's old growth forests. The coming months will be critical to winning the campaign. In addition to our continued focus on Gunns' banker (ANZ) and its pulp mill project, RAN will be releasing a report on how the old growth forests Gunns is clear-cutting in Tasmania feed the paper industry in Japan. Please stay tuned, as this will be a vital time to pressure companies in Japan to cut their ties with Gunns!
Let's work together to finally put an end to these destructive actions that Gunns is wreaking upon our beautiful Earth!
