Last night, the first chat for ‘Conservation Conversations’, on the fundamental role governance plays, the risks & high value outcomes.
Kudos @vishnu_prahalad & UTAS Environ Society for hosting this superb panel 🌿 @geofflaw144 @_cath_dickson & @slowguns

[Wilderness Society lutruwita @TassieWild]

This looks super-exciting.

Find out more about the most wild, unspoiled & remote part of Lutruwita/Tas - sometimes called the 'Spero Wanderer' wilderness area.

87% of ALP voters want an end to native forest logging. But ALP Tas MP Josh Willie says they back forest & wildlife destroying logging industry in #politas Be ambitious, take climate action & prevent extinctions @AlboMP

[Wilderness Society lutruwita @TassieWild]

Clearfelling right at World Heritage boundary - mostly for woochips. Inc giant trees with hollows in them.

Is this forest destruction to make your toilet paper, printing paper, packaging, timber?

It's hard to tell.
In fact, it's impossible.

Is private development in parks really about ‘experiencing wilderness’ or simply tourism organisations and land managers trying to cash in on the Ecotourism boom? https://t.co/bk2gB3XJyf

[Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania @ALCTlutruwita]

Imagine a world where the #politas Gov't delivers on what it says is a priority & abandons excuses in exchange for action

We're not there yet...

A kooparoona niara Nat Park sits unrealised & Aboriginal pleas for justice on land go through to the keeper

We will keep fighting

[Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania @ALCTlutruwita]

We're in Parli today & after briefing Leg Co Members on the kooparoona niara National Park - now observing the #politas debate

Watch here

There is merit & moral imperative in Parli returning unceeded land & the NP tenure is a new & iconic opportunity

Dam decommissioning is rising globally; The US have dismantled 1500+ dams since ‘98, to restore river health & for safety, & in 2021 a record number of dams were removed across Europe.

#kunanyi cable car is again rejected, this time by the Planning Tribunal

Thanks to the thousands who have suported the campaign to protect kunanyi, donated $$ for the legal defense & stood up to say no

Surely this is the end - the proponent must walk away & leave kunanyi alone

Disappointing to see govt & opposition collectively fail to seize multiple historic upsides from kooparoona niara national park proposal.

Aboriginal land return, park management opportunities, tourism, conservation - all dudded at once.

[Jimmy Nails @ItsJimmyNails]

#Politas fail on opportunity for land returns + acknowledging outstanding universal value of kooparoona niara/GWT. Ignores tas treaty report, ignores the world heritage centre, ignores its own consultation and 97% of community that want national park protection.

[Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania @ALCTlutruwita]

Utterly underwhelmed by #politas after @TasmanianLabor & @RockliffTeam pass low-grade reserves & snub an 18+ month old claim for return of land

All this talk of reconciliation & respect - but actions speak louder

Kudos & thanks to @CassyOConnorMP for her solidarity & efforts

[Wilderness Society lutruwita @TassieWild]

Special screening of Franklin - on the exact day, 40 years ago:

1) Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area was declared World Heritage &
2) The Franklin Blockade began

Hear direct from film-maker, the legend that is Oliver Cassidy.

[Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania @ALCTlutruwita]

More #politas Gov't excuses NOT to return 'Unallocated Crown Land' that the Crown stole & will today be before Parli for a tenure change

Instead - it'll mislead Parli in its motion, ignore a formal claim made almost 2 yrs ago & mostly deliver the lowest possible reserve grades

[Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania @ALCTlutruwita]

The Aboriginal Community has been clear on opposition to this dev't &, while the project should be abandoned, its good to again get our view on the record

Unless you've got the $$ to be in it, choppers impact on all other users, incl. our people seeking to connect with Culture

[Fishers & Walkers Tasmania (FAW-TAS) @AndFishers]

Turns out people don’t want to see the world heritage area exclusively leased and turned into a helipad for the rich. Record breaking number of submissions so far. Can you make it 4000 before the 19th of October? https://t.co/URwmo4EF9M #politas #auspol #WildOz

[Fishers & Walkers Tasmania (FAW-TAS) @AndFishers]

Those familiar with the lake country, Walls of Jerusalem and Traveller Range will understand the sheer scale of the noise impacts from this proposal (shown on map). Silence smashed across a vast area of wild, peaceful country. For what? #auspol #politas @tanya_plibersek

[Jimmy Nails @ItsJimmyNails]

It's a #WorldHeritage area + yet NSW Gov't planning to raise Warragamba Dam and flood/destroy habitat of critically endangered Regent honeyeater. A species under threat from land clearing, the last thing it needs is its dwindling habitat drowned #auspol
