Analysis of a Rainforest/Climate Campaign Victory for Woodlark, Papua New Guinea
->
Ecological Internet has very much appreciated the opportunity to participate in a recent string of rainforest and climate victories. Given our deep attachment to Papua New Guinea, perhaps none has been as satisfying as mobilizing international pressure that helped protect precious Woodlark Island from near total rainforest clearance for oil palm [search]. This madness is the epitome of ecological evil, and together local peoples and the world expressed outrage, and for now have cancelled the plans.
We have carried out similar campaigns for over fifteen years, with many, many victories. Mongabay — the fantastic alternative rainforest media source — has for the first time carried out a post-conservation analysis of how local and international Internet-based protest stopped Woodlark’s rich biodiversity from becoming a toxic oil palm monoculture [ark]. It makes for a good read, demonstrating conservation campaign methods that could be widely replicated. Humanity’s eco-future depends upon collaborative north-south protest of ecologically destructive activities wherever found.
