Because of the wild and primitive beauty of the vast forests, more than 1/3 of Tasmania is located in nature reserves, national parks and world heritage sites.

The Australian government affirms that the above 74,000 hectares of forest have been seriously degraded due to previous logging and now need to be opened to develop a promising potential logging industry.
According to conservationists, the exploitation of Tasmania’s primary forests is unacceptable and will create a bad precedent in the future.
Many tourists agree with UNESCO’s decision.
In addition to visiting the primeval forest, visitors can participate in boating or surfing activities.
