Sell-off of Irish public forests - petition<br><br>The Irish Government is moving closer to a huge sell-off of the public forests, currently managed by Coillte (The Irish Forestry Board), to private investors. An area greater than 1 million acres, equivalent to two medium sized counties, will be lost forever. This will include some of our most valuable native woodlands, wild places and some of the last refuges of unique native flora and fauna.<br>
<br>Interest has been expressed by Swiss finance company Helvetia Wealth, who own the International Forestry Fund (IFF) - chaired by Bertie Ahern (former Taoiseach) - together with The China Investment Corporation.<br><br>
Please sign this petition today to tell the Irish Government that Ireland's Forests are not for sale - the petition will be presented tomorrow. These forests are the inheritance of the Irish children and managed wisely can help secure Ireland's social, environmental and economic future. A strong show of support, asserting our rightful ownership of the public forests will make all the difference.<br>
