#virgin forests

[honeykuwu]

Here's the link to the petition :

so about this post and this post i've seen in the #romania tag : (ikea's race for the last of Europe's old-growth forest) and (Romania is home to 60% of Europe's remaining old growth forest)

i've looked for something to do and found this petition (it seems to me that only people from Romania can sign, if someone wants to correct me on this please do):

it has 12.627 out of 15.000 signatures

it's adressed to ikea, kastamonu, romanel, massiv, expansion, succes, losan and yildiz entegre

it's asking these companies to refuse wood from virgin forests, reservations and national parks

why sign now? because it's starting to be too late to do something

because the goverment isn't doing anything

because virgin forests, natural reservations and national parks are the most important when it comes to sustain life and biodiversity (these forests formed after the last Ice Age and kept their properties so far)

because the protected parks aren't treated as requested by IUCN and the goverment finds reasons to legalise their harmful exploatation

because virgin forests are destroyed faster than they're able to be protected by law

because virgin forests make up only 2% of the country anymore

because the factories consume more wood than it can be legally extracted out of forests already in the economic cycle

because the factories mix the wood, making it impossible to track it's origins

the foreigner and local companies need to be more responsable. doing the minimum won't help anymore. the companies need to involve themselves actively in avoiding the wood from virgin forests, natural reservations and national parks

Walk with me: Mid-summer hike through a Central Appalachian forest. As summer hurtles toward its final explosive act, the forest's living things embrace urgent, primordial impulses triggered by shrinking daylight: to bloom, to seed, to feed, and to reproduce before the killing frost of Autumn shocks the earth into hibernation. In the deep forest, the fetid perfume of decaying fungi signals the countdown has begun. From top: a bumblebee traversing the fanning pink flowers of hollow-stemmed Joe-Pye weed (Eutrochium fistulosum); the maturing red stem and flowers of seedbox (Ludwigia alternifolia), also known as rattlebox and square-pod water-primrose, a very attractive wetlands annual with four-sided seed capsules; cowbane (Oxypolis rigidior), also known as common water dropwort, a delicate, marsh-loving member of the carrot family that also happens to be toxic; Allegheny hawkweed (Hieracium paniculatum), also known as panicled hawkweed, a spindly-stemmed member of the dandelion tribe; the lovely and hallucinogenic fly agaric (Amanita muscaria); a sprawling colony of sulphur shelf fungus (Laetiporus sulphureus), an edible delicacy otherwise known as chicken of the woods; a red eft (Notophthalmus viridescens); white wood aster (Eurybia divaricata); a twin set of common puffballs (Lycoperdon perlatum); the fungal version of suburban sprawl courtesy of orange moss agaric (Rickenella fibula); a gelatinous serving of orange witches' butter (Dacrymyces chrysospermus); a fiery clump of eastern Jack-o-lanterns (Omphalotus illudens); a potter wasp (Ancistrocerus campestris) drinking from the clumped white flowers of virgin's bower (Clematis virginiana); one of my all-time favorite critters, a locust borer (Megacyllene robiniae), taking its nectar fill from flat-top goldentop (Euthamia graminifolia), also known as grass-leaved goldenrod; a green metallic sweat bee (Augochloropsis ?) finding sustenance from parasol white-top (Doellingeria umbellata var. umbellata), also known as flat-top aster; and the intricate purple flowers of tall ironweed (Vernonia gigantea).
