Native forestry has long been a contentious issue in Tasmania and continues today. For how long can this clearfelling of pristine tracts of old-growth forest continue? Shame on you Tasmania.br/br/In the Styx Valley, in the south-west, the world's last great unprotected stands of old-growth Eucalyptus regnans are being reduced to piles of smouldering ash. Over 85% of Tasmania's old-growth forests are gone, and it is estimated that fewer than 13,000 hectares of these extraordinary trees remain in their old-growth form. Almost half of them are to be clearfelled and most will end up as paper in Japan.
