in the Iberian Peninsula while the environmental movement has spent decades fighting the eucalyptus plantations in Tasmania is fighting a hard battle for the trees . Eucalyptus trees to 90 feet (90 meters high!, About 7 meters less than the Giralda of Seville) and 400 years old (400 years!, Ie, they grew 40 years ago that the Dutch navigator Abel Tasman first described this island) are being cut down to make them ... chipped! The paper insatiable Asian industry giants feed on plants that are disappearing from some of the most beautiful valleys in Tasmania, such as Florentine. Yesterday
we get into the National Park Hartz Mountains. In just over 30 miles in paradise (superb trees, giant ferns, streams of clear water in which the elusive platypus inhabits ,...) and suffering and hell (forests leveled by the bulldozer, eucalyptus stumps missing a monumental stroke chainsaw, oil and gas pools, mountains of rotting in the sun chips ...).
When we speak of deforestation of primary forests in the world we tend to find this mess in the Amazon jungle or anywhere else "underdeveloped", where murky business, in collusion with corrupt governments, rampant. But nobody talks about the savage deforestation that suffers Tasmania, where every day away an area of \u200b\u200bforest equivalent to 44 football fields ... every day.
