Tasmania is not only home to our merino farmers, but also to one of the most ancient rainforests in the world: the Tarkine. Today, this rainforest – which is one of the largest stores of carbon and sources of oxygen in the world – is under threat from large-scale clearances. Deforestation is a threat to our global climate. The future of the Tarkine therefore affects us all.
PROTECTING THE RAINFOREST MEANS PROTECTING THE CLIMATE
60 million years of unspoiled diversity
Home to 60 endangered species
1,407,780,000-ton CO2 storage capacity
It’s easier to protect than to replant
