Fate of the forests
Year Published: 1990Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX4013 Abstract: The Forest Ecosystem Rescue Network (FERN) believes that large organizations and governments are "useless, at best, in solving environmental problems". They have initiated a grassroots approach called Fate of Our Forests conferences, "which combine global impact with local practicality." Groups or individuals anywhere are being encouraged to call meetings or conferences, scheduled for the September 14-16 weekend in 1990, in their home region. Local groups plan actions which are practical within their means. In 1986, about a dozen groups held meetings, in 1988, about three dozen did. They are aiming for 100 in 1990.
