The Wilderness Society of Victoria reports on its website that Reflex Paper has been stripped of its Forest Stewardship Council rating because of its use of native forests in Victoria's Central Highlands. This is a boost to the campaign to protect these forests and force Reflex and their corpoate customers like Officework to stop loggin our forests. It is also a boost to local campaigns such as the fight to save Sylivia Creek and Cement Creek currently being fought in Victoria.
