The next twelve months is crucial to deciding the future of the Cape York Peninsula. It could become yet another mining province - forever damaged and degraded, or a World Heritage Area.
To keep you up to date on the Tasmanian Forest Agreement process at the critical time in the campaign, we have created a Forest Action Group email list. We will be sending regular supporters on this email list weekly updates with the inside story on the negotiations and any actions you can take to ensure their success.
For many years, we have been working to protect the Tarkine from the logging industry’s chainsaws. The Tasmanian Forest Agreement provides hope for an end to this logging soon, but in the meantime a serious new threat has emerged.
