ALERT! Tell Papua New Guinea and British Royalty: Climate Solutions Have No Place for Continued Industrial Primary Forest Destruction
Knighting of illegal logger and carbon market corruption plague Papua New Guinea's (PNG) attempts to receive carbon money for protecting rainforests [search]. Let Prime Minister Somare, and England's Queen and Prince of Wales, know PNG climate and biodiversity protection under REDD requires an immediate end to industrial primary rainforest destruction by logging and oil palm. And certainly no royal knighthood for criminal loggers.

The trully sad thing is it's entirely possible to create sustainable forests that will allow us to harvest trees and grow them at the same time. You can even get the materials needs to plant new trees (ie seeds and cuttings) for nothing from the ones you chop down!

When will we learn that private wealth bought at the expense of public good is an evil that we cna not longer afford?
Even the rich are doomed if Earth's life support system is damged to the point of destruction.

This must stop! We need to respect the local Papuan's form of land ownership. I will send this out to our readers to let them know.
