The WA Forest
Alliance (WAFA) was formed in 1990 to provide an umbrella
body for the many community environment organisations
in Perth and throughout the South West that are concerned
with forest conservation.
Currently WAFA has 30
member organisations, most of them from centres throughout
the South West. Representatives
of member bodies meet together as 'WAFA' every two
months to exchange information and co-ordinate campaigns.
WAFA seeks an immediate halt to the destruction, through
logging and frequent burning, of all remaining
old
growth and high conservation value native forests.
WAFA continues
to highlight to government and the public, the real
alternatives for the South West
and for the
timber industry. A socially, ecologically and
economically sustainable wood products industry is
possible
if it is built around existing and future agro-forestry
and
plantation resources.
