New evidence of Kimberly-Clark’s shocking mismanagement of forest resources

[tannybogus]

Shocking new photos released today reveal the existence of a massive stockpile of old-growth logs that are destined to become disposable products like Kleenex tissue and Cottonelle toilet paper for tissue giant Kimberly-Clark Corporation (K-C). The logs originate from the Ogoki Forest, the single most ecologically valuable area left in Ontario’s southern Boreal Forest and the site of growing controversy.

The size, location, and near pristine state of the Ogoki Forest make it critical habitat for the threatened woodland caribou, while its carbon-dense trees and soils make it critical for mitigating climate change. As detailed in Greenpeace’s Cut & Run report, the Kenogami Forest was turned from a vast expanse of healthy, near-pristine forest to a severely damaged landscape rife with environmental problems during 70 years of mismanagement by K-C.2 The Ogoki Forest cannot be allowed to become the next Kenogami.

Another corporation heard from. And we do need to turn all the trees into toilet paper and tissue.
Clear cutting is awful. There is no forest left as there is if trees are just thinned.
