The Wilderness Society is leading the work to save Tasmania's forests. For more information on logging in Australia, visit The Wilderness Society's website.

Greenpeace and The Wilderness Society have worked together to protect Tasmania's Styx Valley. You can learn more about this work here.  Greenpeace campaigns globally to protect ancient forests. In this region, we use our reach and capacity to focus on the Asia Pacific Paradise Forests.  The Paradise Forests are being destroyed faster than any other on Earth.  Learn more here.

It isn't practical for us to provide detailed information on different timber species. We suggest that you purchase timber and timber products that are either recycled or certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). If a retailer cannot provide a good wood policy or verification that timber is not coming from illegally or unsustainable logged timber – don't buy it!  Use the Greenpeace Good Wood Guide to help you find ecologically sustainable timber products.
