Earth First

In the 200 years of white settlement in Australia, say authors Jeni Kendell and Eddie Buivids, about three quarters of the rainforests have been cleared.

Terania Creek, the Nightcap Range, the Franklin River, Cape Tribulation, the Daintree rainforest; these are all seen as precious territory increasingly threatened by development.

This beautifully illustrated book, based on Jeni Kendell's documentary of the same name, describes why rainforests have become such an important issue in Australia and how people have struggled to save those areas most at risk.
