Forest activists attacked in the Upper Florentine Valley, Tassie
Forest Defenders of Still Wild, Still Threatened in Tasmania, Florentine Valley, are shown here being viciously assaulted by a mob of irate loggers. These peaceful activist were attempting to halt logging and protect the critically endangered Swift Parrot (below 1000 pairs ) in the forests on the eastern edge of the World Heritage Area. The behavior of these loggers absolutely disgusts me. And the wanton destruction of the Crass Parrot habitat is even more disturbing. What is this world coming to?

activists refused to be intimidated by logging thugs and returned into the forests, this time in the Weld Valley to protect some of the old growth forests there. One of the forest defenders locked on to a excavator was threatened with a power saw held close to his head, the idiot logger pressed his saw against the metal so that sparks showered his hair.
