Earlier this year The Wilderness Society Newcastle joined the Save the Williams River Coalition to campaign for the protection of the Williams River. According to a recent study “The Williams River has the most diverse and intact aquatic biotic communities in the Hunter Valley”.
Gunns' proposed pulp mill represents a major threat to Tasmania's forests. The ANZ bank is contemplating financing this polluting mill. Add your voice to thousands of others who are speaking out against this pulp mill and in support of the forests.
The incredible biodiversity found in the woodlands, as well as their international significance, has been summarised in a report that was publicly launched on June 5, 2008 at Kings Park in Perth.
Gunns' pulp mill, proposed for the Tamar Valley near Launceston, will create dangerous pollution and massively increased forest destruction.

Two days after it was discovered that logging is taking place in one of Melbourne’s pristine water catchments, The Wilderness Society moves in to establish a tree platform high in the forest canopy to stop old growth logging just 2 hours drive east of Melbourne.
Pressure is growing on the Federal and Tasmanian Governments to protect world-class forests threatened by logging on the edge of Tasmania’s World Heritage Area, following a meeting of the World Heritage Committee in Quebec, Canada.
The Wilderness Society along with other members of the Victorian Forest Alliance have just released a plan for Victoria's forests that spells a brighter future for our wildlife, air and water, while also offering a comprehensive transition strategy for the logging industry.
The time has come to protect our remaining old-growth forests, water catchments and homes for endangered wildlife. Learn more about Victoria's Forest Campaign here.
