The Tarkine has been named first in CNN’s list of the world’s last great wilderness areas.
Tarkine National Coalition has welcomed this international recognition of the Tarkine’s wilderness values.
“CNN has confirmed what we have known all along. The Tarkine is a remarkable and unique place that deserves to be listed as one of the worlds great wilderness assets”, said Tarkine National Coalition Campaign Coordinator, Scott Jordan.
“The challenge now is for our state and federal governments to ensure that the Tarkine is protected through National and World Heritage listing”.
Over the past decade the Tarkine has delivered on the jobs front, with visitor numbers and Tarkine related jobs growing even in the current national downturn.
“The Tarkine continues to grow it’s reputation as a premier tourist destination”.
“The new mines proposed will kill the golden goose”.
