ALERT! Madang, Papua New Guinea's Mighty Ramu River Rainforests, Carbon and Peoples Threatened by Timber Mafia & Government Corruption

By Ecological Internet's Rainforest Portal with Rainforest Rescue

Time to end rainforest logging in Papua New GuineaTAKE ACTION!

Let the Papua New Guinea (PNG) government know it must follow its people's wishes and end industrial rainforest destruction [search] once and for all. Support local landowners in Madang Province and nationwide working bravely to end primary forest logging and pursue REDD carbon monies and other means to benefit from standing rainforests. The government cannot corruptly pursue both continued industrial logging and oil palm, and expect to still receive carbon market REDD payments for intact rainforest protection.

Stop this insanity NOW

The earth is screaming "no more destruction". It needs peace to start healing!!!!

The crazy part is you just know sometime in the future everyone's going to agree and they'll have to replant all this stuff and wait hundreds, maybe thousands of years for it to all grow back.
