Beskrivelse
This is the story of how Georgia ForestWatch came to be. It's a story of dogged persistence on the part of seven conservation organizations that came together in 1986 to stop the destructive logging, road-building and other practices that seriously threatened the ecology and natural splendor of the national forests in Georgia. These conservationists persevered in the face of frazzled nerves, sleepless nights and sometimes flaring tempers. There were some dramatic moments, as when they had only minutes to make a midnight deadline. But luck, determination - and the 1976 National Forest Management Act - was on their side. The history of Georgia ForestWatch shows that when an organization couples good leadership with the inherent strength of its members, it can conquer and come out ahead through the most difficult situations.
