 +=====Conservation Notes.=====
 +
 +by Alex Colley.
 +
 +====South-West Tasmania.====
 +
 +The Tasmania Wilderness Society (129 Bathurst Street, Hobart, 7000) has appealed to fellow conservationists to support its campaign to prevent further destruction of South-West Tasmania. The S.B.W. has not received a copy of the appeal, but Club members who have enjoyed this beautiful country might like to help. The society asks supporters to:
 +
 +* Ask your Federal member to support its call for an enquiry.
 +
 +* Write a letter to your local paper.
 +
 +* Sign a petition (a copy of which will be available in the Clubroom).
 +
 +* Make a donation towards the $3,000 cost of the campaign.
 +
 +The society lists the threats to the South-West as follows:
 +
 +1. Hydro-Electric development which will only provide 4 - 6 years projected growth in electrical demand, while cutting the wilderness by at least 30%.
 +
 +2. Forestry for woodchipping and pulping which will reduce the wilderness by at least 30%.
 +
 +3. Exploration by mining companies: Shell and B.H.P. have applied for licenses covering nearly 1500 sq. km. along the eastern edge of the wilderness.
 +
 +The South-West is an area of national significance that is in danger of becoming a national disaster. Although some portions of the South-West are within national parks, substantial areas including features such as the Gordon Splits remain unprotected. Furthermore, national parks in Tasmania have been altered or revoked for hydro-electric and forestry purposes. The South-West is part of our national __heritage__ and, therefore, deserves __national__ involvement.
 +
 +====Threats to Bushwalkers on the Cox.====
 +
 +Following threats to Club members by the owner of a property at the Little River - Cox River junction, the advice of the National Parks and Wild Life Service has been sought. The property is about half-way between the park boundary and the Six Foot Track and about 5 km outside the park.
 +
 +Walkers have followed this section of the Cox since the earliest days of the Club, and before. A strong case could therefore be made for the provision of access. This might be achieved by several means:
 +
 +* Negotiation by the N.P. & W.S. with the land owner.
 +
 +* Purchase of land by the Service.
 +
 +* Creation of a walking track (the Lands Dept. is now active in this direction).
 +
 +* Investigation of the land-owner's boundary, which may fall short of the Cox.
