A mountain ‘road’ winds through the rain and mist as I return to my favourite forest – This majestic cool temperate rainforest stands unprotected whilst the buzz of ‘action’ and ‘destruction echoes through the deep lush valleys overpowering the wizardry of the Superb Lyrebird…It’s enough to make you cry…. Located and defining South Gippsland is the Strzelecki Ranges – once one vast rainforest which was a unique blend of cool temperate with amazingly isolated pockets of warm temperate rainforest. / When early settlers began ‘opening up’ the region South Gippsland was known as the’land of the lyrebird’ as this vast rainforest was home to the Superb Lyrebird in such great numbers – the majestic mimicking skills not only had the repertoire of everything that lived around them but quickly took on the sounds of the new comers with inpeccable calls of camera shutters and chainsaws. The Strzeleckis are not only home to Superb Lyres… but endemic Koalas and native Fish,Quolls, Gliders, Platypus, Wombats, Bandicoots, Potoroos,Echidnas.Wallabies..the fauna list goes on…. / The Flora of the region no less impressive with it once being a stronghold for the largest flowering plant on Earth – Eucalyptus Regnan. It has been reputed that the tallest tree on the planet once grew in the heart of these ranges – some 120m+ it measured when it lay on the floor near Thorpdale earlier in the 20th century.Very few pockets of these old growth ‘emperors’ remain – but where they do surely they rival their protected cousins in the world famous and hard fought for forests of Tasmania. / Now less than 20% of this bioregion remains with an alarming 2% protected – the lowest of any region in Victoria. Election promises of 30,000 h NP’s or ‘Cores and links’ have not eventuated after many years… Instead we see logging and clearfelling rates INCREASE. With Hancocks been the major forrestry operator – a US company.. Is this really worth it ? Speak up and have a say in our country – our planet – for our future generations… 100% of any profit from print sales I may happen to make here will be donted to the ‘Save Our Strzeleckis’ campaign. / / EOS A2, Fuji Velvia 50. / ©T.Middleton2007 —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / / see more of my rainforest photography by clicking on the image below /

The Third of the TRILOGY of TREES. Is This The World We Created? / By QUEEN Just look at all those hungry mouths we have to feed / Take a look at all the suffering we breed / So many lonely faces scattered all around / Searching for what they need Is this the world we created? / What did we do it for? / Is this the world we invaded / Against the law? / So it seems in the end / Is this what were all living for today? / The world that we created You know that every day a helpless child is born / Who needs some loving care inside a happy home / Somewhere a wealthy man is sitting on his throne / Waiting for life to go by Is this the world we created? / We made it on our own / Is this the world we devastated / Right to the bone? / If theres a God in the sky looking down / What can he think of what we’ve done / To the world that he created?

Warning Sign????? / . / Global warming is one of the most serious challenges facing us today. To protect the health and economic well-being of current and future generations, we must reduce our emissions of heat-trapping gases by using the technology, know-how, and practical solutions already at our disposal. / . / Reducing tropical deforestation is feasible, affordable, and essential to avoid dangerous global warming / . / We have the technology and ingenuity to reduce the threat of global warming today. Solutions are already available that will stimulate economies by creating jobs, saving consumers money, and protecting national securities. / . / By investing in renewable energy and energy efficiency, and increasing the efficiency of the cars we drive, we can take essential steps toward reducing our dependence on oil and other fossil fuels that cause global warming. / . / Using energy more efficiently and moving to renewable energy (wind, solar, geothermal, and bioenergy) would significantly reduce our emissions of heat-trapping gases. / . / The time is now…... . /

Acrylic on Linen. 450×920mm Another painting from my ‘If we were trees’ series… This is my representation of the deforestation that is happening around the world. I feel that each tree knows when another dies and feels the sadness…. I feel it too :O(

A beautiful example of destruction of the living planet. In this image I have recorded the consequences of elephant deforestation in Botswana. In order to protect elephants from poachers protected game parks have been created which are policed. Although this protects elephants, they also learn that these areas are safe and congregate in them leading to overgrazing and deforestation as shown above.

Deforestation of native Australian forest for Pine Farming, Penrose State Forest, NSW. 90% of Eastern NSW old growth forest is gone…

It’s all connected…Logging in the world’s rain forests is the most conspicuous form of destruction and deforestation. In addition, the lives of indigenous people and wildlife habitats are disrupted or destroyed. The timber from these forests is used for anything from door and window frames, to furniture (mahogany) to paper! (another reason to recycle) Alternatives? Yes, non-wood fibers, like fast growing bamboo, and straw can be used. We can all help through the choices we make.

The Lorax said nothing. Just gave me a glance… / just gave me a very sad, sad backward glance… / as he lifted himself by the seat of his pants. / And I’ll never forget the grim look on his face / when he heisted himself and took leave of this place, / through a hole in the smog, without leaving a trace. And all that the Lorax left here in this mess / was a small pile of rocks, with one word… / “UNLESS.” Excerpt from Dr. Seuss’s “The Lorax” “If we don’t act, who will?” / Hannah Adrian Rogers

Had this idea when i woke up this morning, it was just in my head..slightly adapted though. I thought about how all the forests are getting chopped down through deforestation and animals are losing their homes.. tried to add a humorous side to it to.

Grassy meadow with dried uprooted tree trunks and roots as a result of deforestation somewhere in the beautiful Kananaskis Country.

Clear cut logging slope, in Cascades east of Newport, Oregon Coast

Somewhat sad scene on a grassy hillside just off the scenic route 40 in Kananaskis Country. I could not decide whether all those trunks and roots were due to a forest fire or due to mass-cutting trees. In any case, whatever happened here was long gone as the nature reclaimed any wounds by covering everything with grass and bush. How amazingly unstoppable our planet’s biosphere is!
