Quiet moments along Takayna coast. 🌊 💙

1. Contoured swirl of form, tones, and flow
2. Macrocystis pyrifera. Giant Kelp washed up on shore. Threatened species now found only in Lutruwita/Tasmania
3. Coastal abstractions

Experimenting with some subtle editing.. :)

BUT native #forestlogging continues in most regions, and the Tasmanian - Van Dieman’s Land - Governors introduced harsher penalties for #protest activity that “disrupts public roads and stops businesses from making money.”

The government has invited Victorian companies affected by the incoming native forest logging ban to Tasmania

ForestryTasmania is now called Sustainable Timber Tasmania (#STT)

SAVE MASKED OWLS

#MiningCompany #MMG wants to destroy 285 hectares of rainforest in #takayna / Tarkine and melaleuca forest to dump twenty five million cubic metres of toxic, acid-producing mine tailings.

Threatened is #WorldHeritage value rainforests and critical breeding habitat for the Tasmanian Masked Owl.

This area is home to numerous #EndangeredSpecies, including the Tasmanian Wedge-tailed Eagle, the Tasmanian Devil and the Spotted-tailed Quoll.

My wife has a friend who is apparently living up a tree in the Tarkine Takayna forest in Tasmania fighting the loggers.

Go Viola. Gunga Din.

#takayna

Located between the takayna/Tarkine Forest and the coast, the intervening hills are alive with small copses of trees, rocky outcrops and fields of flowers and button grass.

Largely untouched by industry, takayna is under constant threat from mining and forestry as it remains unprotected.
