Logging in Tasmania

Sadly, this still goes on here. Oldgrowth wilderness forest, logged and burnt to promote regrowth of the commercial species. 80% plus of the wood ends up exported as woodchips.

Ick!

Nicely composed image to really characterize the problem, both in your use of the detailed foreground and the sweeping view. Nicely done! :toast:

The shortsightedness of man nevers ceases to amaze me. It's very sad.
