owners to gain protection of forests in the South West of the state. In working with regional groups, FN is mindful of the need to listen to local communities. It seeks to support local initiatives rather than drive local agendas. This is fundamental to a campaign perspective based on community empowerment. FN seeks to address all ecological issues in its campaigns. So, it does not make a blanket endorsement of plantations as a solution to the crisis in our native forests. Since 1999 members of FN have been involved in highlighting plantation mismanagement throughout Victoria and have worked closely with Friends of Gippsland Bush, based in the northern Strzeleckis. We are currently working towards getting protection of 10,000 hectares of rainforest and associated forests in the Strzeleckis Ranges. Since 2000 FN has been involved in internet monitoring of forest companies. Visits to these sites now exceeds 115,000 per annum. The sites include: Hancock watch http://www.hancock.forests.org.au Australian Paper http://www.australianpaper.forests.org.au Bad Developers FN Website http://www.jeack.com.au/~martdy/ http://www.baddevelopers.green.net.au Good environmental outcomes will be complex and regionally appropriate: there is no single one size fits all ................................................................................................................................................................................................... model. Fundamental to achieving a sustainable future will be a reduction in consumption patterns, ecological management of plantations, alternative sources of timber and fibre, and protection of all high conservation value native forests. In 2004, Forest Network continues to campaign on the local, national and international levels through non-violent direct action, community education, GIS computer based modelling and building alliances with residents and community groups. FoE aims to ensure protection of all high conservation and old growth forests, stop the export woodchip industry, promote alternatives and reduce paper consumption. As a working group of FoE, FN has a strong social justice perspective and seeks to work for a sustainable and equitable timber industry. FoE 30 Years 110
