All proceeds of the event will go towards the Bob Brown Foundation to protect the takayna / Tarkine – 447,000 hectares of wilderness under threat of destruction in the north-west of Tasmania. The region includes the largest single tract of temperate rain forest, a wealth of Aboriginal cultural heritage sites, and habitat for over 50 threatened species. Come and join us and help save the trees!
‘takayna / Tarkine remains today a rare gem of natural intactness in a world where the destruction of wild nature is rampant and accelerating. It should also be one of the easiest in the world to protect. Comprising just seven percent of Tasmania, the Tarkine contains the nation’s largest temperate rainforest, a galaxy of its rare and endangered wildlife and some of the richest Aboriginal heritage in the hemisphere. The latter has been inscribed on the list of National Heritage. The cleanest air in the world, as measured by the nearby UN monitoring station, blows across the Tarkine’s shores.’
– Bob Brown.
The tall ancient eucalyptus forests and rainforests of takayna / Tarkine are one of Earth’s great treasures, abundant with wildlife such as the Tasmanian Devil and Spotted-tailed Quoll. They are also rich and essential carbon storehouses in the face of the climate emergency.
Bob Brown Foundation has re-occupied proposed logging coupe BO092C in the Pieman River area of takayna / Tarkine in defence of its rainforests and wildlife. In February 2020 this coupe forced the retreat of the logging machines, but the loggers are still scheduled to return.
