Vancouver - Interfor continues to clearcut log in the remaining pristine valleys of the Great Bear Rainforest on the coast of British Columbia, while claiming to its customers and the world that it is doing the right thing, engaging in environmentally sustainable, certified logging practices. It has refused to comply with a moratorium on logging in these pristine valleys which other logging companies are currently respecting.

A new report released on the Greenpeace International web site today reveals Interfor for what it really is, a rogue logging company that chooses to ignore its own concerned global customers and public opinion and a company firmly wedded to liquidating the remaining pristine valleys in the Great Bear Rainforest.

Greenpeace will continue to increase the global markets pressure on this forestry dinosaur over the coming weeks.

Greenpeace will also continue to alert Interfor's customers about the destructive logging practices of this company and its refusal to enter into a moratorium on the remaining pristine valleys in the Great Bear Rainforest.
