Objectives of Tasmanian forests deal can’t be metFriday 23 Mar 2012 A leaked forestry report late last week according to a number of media sources confirmed Tasmania's forest peace deal cannot deliver both promised reserves and wood supplies. The Review of Tasmania's Forest Estates is one of the confidential reports which will help determine how much forest will be protected from logging under the peace deal.The federal-state agreement nominates 572,000 hectares for forest reserves. The deal also guarantees wood supply for saw log contracts and for timber veneer company Ta Ann. But the leaked report says "the joint objectives articulated ... cannot be accommodated in Tasmania's native forest". It says that even if no new reserves are established, there are not enough native forests to fulfil contracted wood supplies into the future.
