The Forgotten Arctic

27 Jun 1996

Aberdeen

All northern hemisphere whales under the responsibility of the IWC are dependent on the Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas. However the Arctic is subject to an exploitation of natural resources which is becoming more and more intense.

One of the AEPS (Arctic Environmental Protection Strategy) working groups stated in its 1996 report that “issues of concern in the Arctic are : the past dumping of radioactive wastes ; the possible future dumping of liquid radioactive wastes ; the potential of future dumping of contaminated dredged materials for increased shipping activities ; and the possibility of future dumping associated with the potential growth of Arctic towns and cities.”

Paris: the international environmental community condemns the TGB

26 May 1996

Around thirty environmentalists representing active organisations from Europe, Africa, Australia, Japan and the USA – who are united at an international meeting in Paris on forest exploitation organised by the FME (Forest Movement Europe) – expressed today (Sunday midday) their united opposition against the abusive use of tropical timbers in the new National Library (TGB – Très Grand Bibliothèque).

The protesters organised a sit-in on the esplanade of the TGB whilst unfurling a banner denouncing in their 14 languages, including 3 Cameroonian dialects, what they consider to be an abuse of tropical wood. An IPE label was stamped on to one of the steps of the esplanade.
