The battle for Tasmania's wilderness
Could the government have the 2013 addition to the Tasmanian World Heritage Area revoked, asks John Pickrell.

AUSTRALIA’S WORLD HERITAGE areas are having a tough time. In 2013 it was revealed that the Great Barrier Reef had lost half its coral cover since the 1980s. Now, due to a series of port developments for coal and gas exports, it is hanging under the threat of ending up on the “List of World Heritage in Danger”, the precursor to World Heritage status being removed.
It would be embarrassing for this to happen in one of the world’s wealthiest nations, one that holds under its guardianship perhaps the most famous natural World Heritage Area (WHA) on the planet.

'Catastrophic': Hundreds of wildfires rage in Australia amid record heat wave (VIDEO, PHOTOS RT)
--
A heat wave that has already caused devastating fires on the Island
state of Tasmania, with 100 people still missing, has now moved to
mainland Australia and is reaping havoc in New South Wales, as the heat
wave looks to smash records. In some areas temperatures have shot up by as much as 20C in three hours and combined with 50 mph winds have created disastrous fire conditions.
