Say No To Kwila protest: Saturday the 2nd of October @ Noon

Say No To Kwila protest: Saturday the 2nd of October @ Noon.
Meet outside Bunnings Warehouse, 46 - 56 Tory Street, Wellington

*Bring a whistle and wear green*

It's estimated that Kwila trees (mainly from Papua New Guinea and WestPapua) will go extinct in 35 years if current rates of loggingcontinue. The use of illegally logged Kwila results in speciesextinctions, contributes to climate change and creates human rights abuses. Human rights groups have documented the torture and imprisonment of indigenous people who have resisted.

In the past, Rainforest Action protests have led to New Zealand retailers stopping the sale of Kwila products. We need to take astrong stand to halt the destruction of the Papuan rainforest the illegal logging and call on Bunnings Warehouse to SAY NO TO KWILA!
