位於智利沿岸 面积高达120,000英亩的Rio Blanco Sur property 是全世界最重要的雨林生态区 Valdivian temperate rain forest 的核心部位 尽管智利已经有立法保护这块区域 近年来来却遭不肖伐木业者大量滥伐 光是今年就有超过2500棵alerce - 北美红木林的近亲 - 遭到砍伐 他们可以成长到375英尺 并且活超过3000岁 是这整块生态保护区非常重要的keystone species(基石物种) 这些伐木公司罔视法律 使用重型伐木装置 开发自己的运输道路 甚至还自己设置了铁网门防止别人进入 在里面大肆开伐 而智利政府竟然视而不见 就这样让他们为所欲为! Valdivian ecoregion是全世界仅存的五个temperate rain forest之一 他里面特殊的物种包括了南方河狸(southern river otter) 普度鹿(pudu) -全世界最小的鹿 以及褐脚猫头鹰(rufous-legged owl) 但是政府无视违法伐木行为 任由这些人在建筑运输道路 滥伐巨木 焚烧森林 这块原始的自然保留地现在只剩下40%不到! 请进入以下网站签名寄信给智利政府 (Action Deadline: Nov 28, 2002) 告诉他们立刻停止这种黑心的商业行为! 信件已经以西班牙文写成 我们只要留下自己的资料和E-mail即可! http://takeaction.worldwildlife.org/ctt.asp?u=73645&l=1005 如果你会西班牙文 请进入以下网址 可以加上自己的看法! http://takeaction.worldwildlife.org/ctt.asp?u=73645&l=1006 以下是信件内容英文版: Dear (the president and agriculture minister's names will be inserted here): I respectfully urge you to take immediate action to protect the alerce forests of the Coastal Range from continued illegal logging. Illegal loggers have already cut more than 2,500 live alerce trees in the Rio Blanco Sur property in the County of Fresia. The large commercial operation in this area is estimated to generate millions of dollars in income to the clandestine logging companies. As you know, the alerce rain forest is an irreplaceable component of the world's natural heritage. Among the steps that need to be taken to ensure the long-term survival of alerce within Chile's Coastal Range and protection of the region's biodiversity are effective monitoring of logging operations in the region, enforcement of the country's forest laws, and establishment of new protected areas. It is striking that the massive logging continued even while Chile hosted the 12th meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). The alerce is protected by CITES as well as Chilean law. In addition, Chile and other United Nations countries recently committed at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg to take immediate actions to reduce illegal logging. Please do all you can to protect the alerce rain forest. Sincerely, Your name and address will be inserted here -- 这世界还需要法律吗? 官商勾结! 立法只是立好看的吧! -- 少吹冷气 少吃肉 少骑车 节省用电 请保护大自然....
