ALERT! Save Poland’s Bialowieza Forest, Europe's Last Primeval Temperate Forest
Ask the Polish government to stop exploitation of the primeval Bialowieza Forest [search]. Bialowieza Forest is on the verge of ultimate devastation caused by the state foresters and the timber industry that exploit precious Bialowieza Forest to manufacture products like furniture. Let’s support local calls for the cut to be reduced immediately, as a step to quickly ending primary forest logging in the area, and make all efforts possible to enlarge Bialowieski National Park to cover the entire area of Bialowieza Forest. EI has been active in campaign for over a decade, and things are getting active again locally as well, so time to renew the call of the Bialowieski Forest.

Much like with South America, the whole Earth needs these forested areas to 1) Maintain wildlife habitat (keeps the animals from encroaching on civilization) 2) Maintains soil conservation/erosion (less mudslides) 3) Aids against global climate change 4) Enables us a place to enjoy and get away from the metro life.
You cannot put a price tag on these benefits, no matter how much timber is harvested.

The destruction is sad but how do you economically persuade them to stop harvesting these trees?
