other countries to avoid deforestation while allowing further
logging in Tasmanian and Victorian native forests, the Australian
Greens say.</p> <P>A leaked declaration on climate change, energy security and
clean development, prepared for the 21 leaders attending the
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit next month, calls
on the world's major polluters to set goals to cut greenhouse gas
emissions.</p> <P>It also calls for agreement on the importance of preserving and
managing forests.</p> <P>But Greens leader Bob Brown said the authorised destruction of
Tasmanian and Victorian forests is one of the world's worst
examples of deliberate deforestation.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theage.com.au/news/National/PM-a-hypocrite-on-deforestation-Greens/2007/08/18/1186857817599.html">"Logging and burning Tasmanian and Victorian native forests is
