Tasmania's World Heritage Listed forests

Anonymous — Sat, 10 May 2014 05:07:08 +0000

There's a concerning environmental issue we face here in Australia at the moment.

In June later this year, the World Heritage Committee will consider the Australian Government’s request to de-list 74,000ha of Tasmania’s newly added World Heritage forests. In 2012, industry and conservationists agreed to protect these forests through the hard-fought and historic Tasmanian Forest Agreement (TFA).
