Nicola Bullard: Focus on the Global South
21 March 2009 To whom it may concern.

The Stop GE Trees Campaign, which they co-founded in 2004 along with Rainforest Action Network, Sierra Club, Dogwood Alliance and others, in mounting a powerful challenge to the corporations promoting genetically engineered trees.Genetically engineered trees pose a monumental threat to the world's remaning native ...
