Forests. Climate. Justice. Uniting with the people of the South against destructive logging
关于我们
For over 25 years, Dogwood Alliance has mobilized diverse voices to protect Southern forests and communities from destructive industrial logging. Through community and grassroots action, holding corporate and government decision-makers accountable, and catalyzing large-scale conservation, Dogwood advances a twenty-first century society that values standing forests for the many ways they sustain life. The South is the world’s number one source of lumber, paper and wood pellets. Our Southern forests are being destroyed by the large-scale production of these products. Industrial logging in the Southern US accounts for our forests being four times more logged than the rainforests of Brazil. In a time when we are championing forest conservation in other countries, we are ignoring deforestation in our own backyard.

Protecting forests and wetlands helps protect us too. It’s time to change how we value nature. Let’s stop endless extraction and invest in standing forests and wetlands to fight the climate crisis. https://lnkd.in/eYY6tzHg

Enviva is still one of the world's top biomass wood pellet producers. After emerging from bankruptcy, they are now a new private company. But their business model built on destroying forests and polluting communities must change. Tell Enviva: No more business as usual. Let's hold them accountable for our future. https://lnkd.in/g-wvXCnU

The US Supreme Court has weakened the Clean Water Act, putting our clean drinking water at risk. Wetlands help filter our water and protect us from floods. We need lawmakers to act now to safeguard our wetlands and restore our water rights. https://lnkd.in/eJj8Vxyy

The biomass industry has cleared more than a million acres of US forests, and biomass energy emits even more carbon than coal. When forests are cut, they release carbon for up to 13 years, and clearcut forests may take 44 to 104 years to balance out. Cutting forests for fuel just doesn’t make sense. Tell Congress: cut pollution, not forests. https://lnkd.in/e_9SMNp5

Dirty Drax has broken environmental rules over 11,000 times. They’ve been fined millions in Mississippi and Louisiana, yet now they want to pollute even more in Gloster, MS. The people of Gloster are tired of seeing their health sacrificed for profit. It’s time for the MS governor to stand up for the community. Let’s hold Drax accountable and protect our home. https://lnkd.in/e3qmKS_z
