"Green Policing" the forests of New South Wales
Today on Earth Matters we hear from Claire and Sarah of the New South Wales
Forest Activist Network. Over January 12th - 15th around 500 people
attended the Goongerah Gathering in Victoria's East Gippsland to discuss
and network on forest activism. The Forest Activist Network is involved in
a range of activities in the forests of New South Wales, one of which is
Green Policing. Armed with the likes of the Endangered Species Act,
activists are going out into the forests to check up on whether
contractors, the Government and the National Parks and Wildlife Service are
complying to the codes and laws surrounding native forest logging. They're
discovering lots of breaches, but also feel like their making a difference
to the forest operations.

El Salvador's Earthquake Aftermath
On January 13th 2001 a massive earthquake rocked much of Central America
and while many felt its tremors, El Salvador was the worst hit. Environment
group Friends of the Earth El Salvador is currently involved in relief work
in their local communities having had their own offices destroyed along
with deaths amongst their workers.=20
Today on the show we speak with Friends of the Earth campaigner Cam Walker
about the present situation in El Salvador and what sort of development and
mining concerns may have exacerbated the earthquake's impact. We hear of
inappropriate housing developments and dangerous mining activities, as well
as Friends of the Earth El Salvador's work in the earthquake aftermath.
IN: "On the 13 of January =85"
OUT: "=85 in the types of areas."
DUR: 10'00"
ATTENTION! 3CR Community Radio in Melbourne (855) is holding a Radiothon
for Friends of the Earth El Salvador on Sunday February 11th from 9:30am -
12noon. Donations are sought to assist Friends of the Earth El Salvador in
continuing their relief work efforts. Please tune in and donate and spread
the word through your own networks.=20
