The Largest Intact Temperate Woodland on Earth

See this content in the original post

This video, set to a poem by Dr Keren Raiter, showcases the Great Western Woodlands in Western Australia. The Great Western Woodlands is the largest intact temperate woodland left on Earth. It extends from the WA wheatbelt across to the Nullarbor Plain and at 16 million hectares is twice the size of Tasmania. The Great Western Woodlands is home to over 3,000 flowering plant species making it one of the most bio-diverse environments in Australia. Currently most of Woodlands has no conservation status or management which clearly does not reflect its global significance.
