Styx Valley Project Protest Shelter by Andrew Mynard Architects
The Styx Valley Protest Structure is a project by Andrew Maynard to attempt to save the Styx Valley Forest , a unique ecosystem in south western Tasmania. It is home to the tallest hardwood trees in the world averaging over 80 meters. Many of the trees are over 400 years old. In 1996 only around 13% of these trees remain. A large area of south western Tasmania’s pristine wilderness is world heritage and is therefore protected. Unfortunately the Styx Valley falls just outside the South West National Park and it is now under attack from logging companies.
The logging companies clear fell such areas in Tasmania and burn any remnant vegetation once they have removed any timber considered of value. The high quality timbers that are then removed are reduced to nothing more than wood chips that are then exported mainly to Japan.
From this rape and pillage of Tasmania’s previously untouched, pristine landscape, Tasmania receives only AUD$10 per ton of woodchips.

Hi,
Hegel said that humankind doesn’t learn from History and as the time goes by, I tend to agree more with him.
The Man has achieved a technology level far beyond any living species on this planet and yet keeps destroying it, cannot avoid hunger (because of eagerness) and our future is more and more uncertain.
Unless people change radically their way of thinking and especially acting, tomorow…well..there may not be tomorow….
Kind regards,
José

Unquestionably consider that that you said. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the internet the simplest thing to have in mind of. I say to you, I certainly get irked whilst other people think about worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and outlined out the whole thing without having side effect , other people can take a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thanks!

I have been surfing on-line more than 3 hours lately, but I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty price sufficient for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content as you did, the net will be much more helpful than ever before.
