Tasmania - Shaped by its Antarctic past, harsh climate, and primordial rainforests. An island of unique nature, home to egg-laying mammals like the platypus and echidna and large bird colonys. Deep underground, bioluminescent mosquito larvae create a glowing starry sky in cave darkness. Around half of Tasmania is protected land, yet this fragile paradise still depends on conservationists like Joy Kachina and Carlie Devine, whose work helps preserve one of Earth’s great natural sanctuaries.
