takayna | Tarkine

In the heart of Tasmania lies Takayna|Tarkine, where nature reigns supreme. Towering myrtle beeches, Huon pines and sassafras form a green canopy above deep rivers. The Southern Ocean crashes against the rugged coast. Takayna hums with life – devils growl among dunes and trees, owl wings flap quietly and birdsong echoes through rainforest.

Takayna is deeply connected to an ancient world, carrying the stories of its First People, who have revered its beauty and power for generations. This place endures largely due to its remoteness and Tasmania’s isolation. However, Takayna’s wild beauty is under threat and urgently needs protection despite decades of public campaigning.

takayna|Tarkine: One of the Last Wild Places on Earth is a richly illustrated hardcover book that passionately pleads for Takayna’s preservation. It features powerful words and stunning photographs from those who know the area best and who are committed to its future.
