Protect Canada's Boreal Forest

Right now, Greenpeace Ship Artic Sunrise is in Quebec’s Saguenay River, preventing the export of thousands of tonnes of pulp to Europe. The pulp manufactured by SFK Pulp, is made from wood from destructive logging in Canada’s Boreal Forest. It is destined for paper giant Stora Enso in Germany and France. Greenpeace activists are blockading the freighter, Jaeger Arrow to prevent its departure.

Greenpeace is not just focusing on the logging companies directly causing the destruction of the Boreal Forest but is also putting the spotlight on their large corporate customers whose purchases are fuelling the destruction. We need your help getting a message to the CEO of SFK Pulp, a major purchaser of wood chips from logging companies Abitibi-Consolidated and Bowater: “Canada’s Boreal Forest must be protected”.

Send a letter now to SFK Pulp, urging them to protect the Boreal Forest by ending purchase of wood from destructive logging operations and intact forest areas. Tell SFK CEO Andre Bernier to stop exporting forest destruction and instead start protecting Canada’s Boreal Forest!

Dear Mr. Bernier,

I am writing to express my support for Greenpeace's action today and my concern regarding your company's purchases of wood chips from Abitibi-Consolidated and Bowater. Their logging practices in Canada's Boreal Forest are destructive and unsustainable.

I urge SFK Pulp to adopt an environmental policy that supports sustainable forestry as certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and limits logging in intact forest areas and caribou habitat. I hope that you will use your financial influence as a large customer of Abitibi-Consolidated and Bowater, to force them to end their destructive logging operations in the Boreal Forest.

Reckless logging practices such as massive clear-cutting are destroying the Boreal Forest last remaining intact forest areas.  Considering that only 25% of the world's original forests remain, these practices are unacceptable.

SFK Pulp should consider its role in forest protection as a serious part of your regular business. Take the first step, and demand that Abitibi-Consolidated and Bowater end destructive logging.

Sincerely,
