SWST Campaigns

Still Wild Still Threatened campaigns operate on a number of different levels, including non-violent direct action in the forests and in towns, community awareness raising on a local and global scale, research and data collection, lobbying key decision makers and co-ordinating festivals, arts projects and musical events.

This map shows all of the Southern Forests in Tasmania which are under threat or being clearfelled NOW. These are areas of unique oldgrowth forests whose biodiversity of flora and fauna are irreplaceable. They are home to ancient tree species not found anywhere else, thousands of varietys' of moss and fungi and threatened animal species like the Wedge Tailed Eagle and Tasmanian Devil.

We only have the resources to focus on particular areas which have been chosen due to their higher conservation values. Still Wild Still Threatened focuses on the Upper Florentine Valley at the same time keeping tabs on the Styx Valley, Mt Mueller, The Wedge and Clear Hill which have been extensively logged already. While the Huon Valley Environment Centre campaigns for the protection of forests further south in the Weld Valley, the areas further south are being devastated with little resistance.
