Ecowarriors
Ecowarriors lock on for the Ludlow Tuart forest.
Adrian Trivett and another protester locked himself to two barrels filled with concrete and steel across the entrance to the mine site to prevent access. He was joined by a fellow demonstrator who locked himself to the car of Collis Thorp, head of Cable Sands. Several protesters are also locked onto bulldozers and mining machinery in the compound. Others climbed up tree platforms in the ore body to prevent the further destruction of up to 500 years of Tuart growth. Camp residents previously in the tree village within the lease occupy their platforms in continued protest. Concerned community members came to the site to show their support for the demonstrators and disgust at the approval of the mine by State Government.
Mr. Trivett said, We have taken this action now as we have exhausted all other avenues to stop the mine. This shows our passion and commitment to save this precious ecosystem.
Cable Sands have not recorded many of the plant species on the block, resulting in a lack of recognition of the richness and species diversity of the vegetation of the mining lease. Recent independent surveys show that within the mining lease 24 species of plant exist that are not found within Tuart forest reserves of the area, camp spokesperson Brian Green commented.
This forest is the site of the 1841 Wonnerup massacre in which over 300 Wardandi Aboriginal people were brutally murdered. Cable Sands has shown a complete disregard to the cultural and indigenous values of the Ludlow Tuart Forest
by commencing mining at this site, Mr. Green also said.
