The Wilderness Society
The team at the Wilderness Society are campaigning to see the Tarkine protected as a World Heritage area. In both Tasmania and the mainland, they are working to make the Tarkine a priority issue for current and incoming governments. 
Follow these links to visit their website and sign their petition. 


GetUp!
GetUp! successfully ran a campaign to take Tony Burke (previous Environment Minister) into the Tarkine Wilderness. For a short video of the visit, click on this link. 
Please visit their website to write to your local MP. All your need is your postcode! 
Their system is quite outdated (still referring to Tony Burke as the Environment Minister, rather than Greg Hunt), however this site remains a useful tool for contacting your local MP. 


The Greens
Tarkine Association Victoria is a non-partisan organisation. However, we would like to acknowledge the important campaign that the Greens are running entitled 'The Tarkine, Too Precious To Lose'. Currently, the Greens are the only political party that has committed to protecting the Tarkine. To find our more about this campaign and read their 'Too Precious To Lose' prospectus, please visit their website. 


Responsible Runners
In 2014, representatives of this Australia-wide community group ran (literally!) through the Tarkine to draw attention to its wild beauty and the huge threats it faces.
