so about this post and this post i've seen in the #romania tag : (ikea's race for the last of Europe's old-growth forest) and (Romania is home to 60% of Europe's remaining old growth forest)
i've looked for something to do and found this petition (it seems to me that only people from Romania can sign, if someone wants to correct me on this please do):
it has 12.627 out of 15.000 signatures
it's adressed to ikea, kastamonu, romanel, massiv, expansion, succes, losan and yildiz entegre
it's asking these companies to refuse wood from virgin forests, reservations and national parks
why sign now? because it's starting to be too late to do something
because the goverment isn't doing anything
because virgin forests, natural reservations and national parks are the most important when it comes to sustain life and biodiversity (these forests formed after the last Ice Age and kept their properties so far)
because the protected parks aren't treated as requested by IUCN and the goverment finds reasons to legalise their harmful exploatation
because virgin forests are destroyed faster than they're able to be protected by law
because virgin forests make up only 2% of the country anymore
because the factories consume more wood than it can be legally extracted out of forests already in the economic cycle
because the factories mix the wood, making it impossible to track it's origins
the foreigner and local companies need to be more responsable. doing the minimum won't help anymore. the companies need to involve themselves actively in avoiding the wood from virgin forests, natural reservations and national parks
