You can give the manager articles about Burma along with the letter. Be sure to hand out flyers at your demonstration. We will include your location in a national press release. Postcards from potential customers are powerful. If you want to target a teak importer, distributor or boat builder, contact Rainforest Relief to coordinate the target.
TEAK is the largest source of income for the regime other than drugs.
Demonstrations are needed, the more the better. The military refused to yield power and arrested many of the elected leaders. They are systematically eradicating the forests of Burma for the valuable teak and other hardwoods to raise cash for more guns. Since then, massive deforestation has been accompanied by repression and human rights abuses. Villagers are forced to cut their own trees at gunpoint, and the army sells the logs for profit.
